If Windows 11 keeps using the wrong keyboard layout or will not switch languages, the installed language settings or keyboard shortcuts may need attention.
Method 1: Check installed languages
Open Settings > Time & language > Language & region and confirm the language and keyboard layout you need are installed.
Method 2: Switch keyboard layout
Press Windows + Space to cycle through installed keyboard layouts.
Method 3: Remove an unwanted layout
Open the language options and remove keyboard layouts you do not use. This can prevent Windows from switching to the wrong layout.
Method 4: Check the language bar
Review the advanced keyboard settings and make sure the input indicator is available on the taskbar if you use it.
Method 5: Restart Windows
Restart the PC after changing language settings and test the keyboard again.
Final tip
If a specific application still uses the wrong layout, check its own input or language settings.
