I've been having the same problem and I think I may have found a solution. Note that I've only tested this on one computer and so far this seems to be working.
First you need to install the US English layout and remove it again to make sure it's not set on your user account.
Go to Start->Run and type in
intl.cpl
First go to the "Keyboards and Languages" tab and click on "Change keyboards". This opens a new dialog where you should see a list of installed layouts but US English is most likely not listed.
You need to add the US keyboard by clicking on "Add...", find English (United States), open that and the underlying "Keyboard" by clicking on the + and there select the option "US". Click on "OK", this closes the window and you're back in the "Text Services and Input Languages" window.
Click on "Apply" to install the keyboard layout.
Then select the US English keyboard, click "Remove" and then "OK".
Now go to the "Administrative" tab and click on the "Copy settings" button. Now you should see locale settings for your current account, Welcome screen and new user accounts. It's very likely that the "Input language" value for "New user accounts" is set to "US English"
Under "Copy your current settings to:" select both "Welcome screen and system accounts" and "New user accounts". The values for both "Welcome screen" and "New user accounts" should change to your current settings.
Click on "OK" to confirm and again on "OK" to close the "Region and language" settings.
If this works for others and anyone feels like making a little more graphical version of this, feel free!
I have found another very related question here:
How can I restore Ctrl+<key> functionality in Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator?
, which has a perfect answer. I will try to expand it with details and put it here as a copy.
The answer mentions changing the VK code of every key by editing the .klc file directly in a text editor, which I haven't think about, amazing design. It also contains a link to a blog showing how to do it:
www.sensefulsolutions.com/2010/08/how-to-fix-keyboard-shortcuts-in-klc-eg.html
So let's say it like this:
The shortcuts in every application in Windows are bind not directly to the character output of each key. They are bind to the Virtual Key code of every key. The scan code of keys are hardware specific. The driver converts these code into virtual key code, and then the OS receive VK code to do tasks.
When we edit a keyboard layout in MSKLC, the VK code are not changed by default. But you can open the .klc file to edit it.
A typical .klc file will be like this:

See below the line containing layout. You say a table with lines of mapping of keys and their VK code and the chars output we get when pressing them. The thing we would like to do is to change the second column, VK_, to adapt it to the characters, or change them as you wish. The validation error, if any, will be shown later so don't be nervous to make mistakes.
Before this changed version, the line:
19 O 1 o O -1 -1 -1 // LATIN SMALL LETTER O, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O, <none>, <none>, <none>
was:
19 P 1 o O -1 -1 -1 // LATIN SMALL LETTER O, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O, <none>, <none>, <none>
So in the position of O in my layout, it is interpreted as VK_P, that's why I got print prompt.
A full list of VK_ values is here:

I don't know if this is the right way but this way worked for me.
Edit your secondary keyboard layout symbols language file in path:
Example: for Persian(Iran) language:
And delete all the following lines of code from the file:
You can use Replace(Ctrl+H) option in your editor.
reboot at the end.
