Hello everyone,
We have implemented a GPO to lock screen with slides:
Somehow it affected language settings and "Let me set a different input method for each app window" is always unmarked.
What is the registry key for "Let me set a different input method for each app window"? I would like to overwrite this key with another GPO.
Thank you!

Hi
Is it posssible for you to share the options you set up for UserPreferenceMask?
I am searching a solution to disable it for everyone, but even if I set the option with the binair, it doesn't change the option. Do you update or replace the key? Which binair do you use?
Thanks in advance!
Hi ,
I update the REG_BINARY. It enables this feature. To disable it just change last 9 to 1:
It was easy to find - open regedit - remember the value, change the setting in GIU and refresh registry - you will see a new value.

The key is :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Value : UserPreferencesMask
(old doc : UserPreferencesMask)
(Windows uses the API SystemParametersInfo with SPI_SETTHREADLOCALINPUTSETTINGS flag

Thanks so much for your response.
Is there a way we can set the value of this reg entry with PowerShell or with .bat? how?
You can update registry with PowerShell or use Win32 apis with PowerShell (Google "SystemParametersInfo powershell" to find samples for example)
