Cannot use custom keyboard

Just got new computer with Windows 11

I installed a custom keyboard layout that is modified Dvorak keyboard.

However I cannot choose it.
Language bar doesn't allow me to select it nor is there a way to change to it in the settings.

I'm considering going back to Windows 10 since this one doesn't allow me to use my preferred keyboard layout.

    Hello, thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community. I'm here to help with your questions or issues. Just note – this is a place where passionate Microsoft users help each other, we don't work directly for Microsoft.

    As for your issue, can you confirm that you are using the official Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator (MSKLC)? Where is the custom layout file (.klc) located on your computer?
