Odd input locale issue in Autounattend

[Jonathan]

Selecting 'United Kingdom extended keyboard' sets both language and keyboard layout to 0452, which is Welsh.

"<InputLocale>0452:00000452</InputLocale>"

I checked this using unaltered W10 and W7 SP1 images without using auto fill and get the same result so it doesn't appear to be an image issue.

Naturally, I fixed this by editing the preset and the autounattend file but I would like to know if it's something I'm doing or an issue with NTLite.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Hi Jonathan,

thanks for the feedback.

If we look at MS docs here:

United Kingdom Extended Keyboard - Globalization

An interactive representation of the Windows United Kingdom Extended keyboard. To see different keyboard states, click or move the mouse over the state keys.

learn.microsoft.com

KLID: 00000452 is correct.

If we then look here:

Default input profiles (input locales) in Windows

Input profiles (or input locales) describe the language of the input entered, and the keyboard on which it is being entered. When the first user logs into Windows and identifies their region, Windows sets the input profiles.

learn.microsoft.com

00000452 is Welsh.

So, I need more clarification, how would you classify them, in other words why do you choose specifically the Extended version, and what do you correct the code to?

From reading those it's clear that it was my choosing the 'extended keyboard' is the issue.

It's been over ten years since I build this system and I haven't kept up with the technology, so I guess old 105 key 'extended' version is now the standard.

Thanks for you help. It is much appreciated.
