Powershell Tip #87: Set keyboard layout

By powershellgu | December 4, 2015

Tip: You set the keyboard layout using PowerShell (for example, if the language of your keyboard is different of the Operating System).

 Get-WinUserLanguageList

1	Get-WinUserLanguageList

I set the layout to fr-CH (French – Switzerland):

Set-WinUserLanguageList -LanguageList fr-CH -Force

1	Set-WinUserLanguageList -LanguageList fr-CH -Force
