keyboardkeyboard-layoutsyncwindows 10
I have two laptops, each with its own keyboard layout (AZERTY and QWERTY). Both laptops run Windows 10 and are authorized to sync settings back to my Microsoft account.
The problem is that my keyboard layout setting keeps changing back and forth between AZERTY and QWERTY, for both laptops.
How do I disable that behavior without disabling synchronization altogether?
The card reader could be setup as an OPOS card reader. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPOS Many manufacturers have OPOS drivers along with how-to setup instructions.
Use a google search to look for your exact model and manufacture, Unless it is something that belongs in a museum, there should be resources.
A solution combined from Custom keyboard layout with Windows 10 and MS Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4 Error when Building Installation package discussions at answers.microsoft.com - working on Windows 10 [Version 10.0.16299.125] (1709):
MsKLC as administrator; File => Load Existing keyboard… (probably Standard in your case); don't panic if you see no change in MsKLC window: it only appears not working;
Layout01 to KBDCR1 and Description from Standard - Custom to Croatian - QWERTY), then press OK button;KBDCR1;KBDCR1.klc file in your preferred plain text editor (Notepad
would suffice), make and save necessary changes (see adjusted KBDCR1.klc file below):
15: Y definition at place of original Z);2C: Z definition at place of original Y);MsKLC as administrator; File => Load Source File… KBDCR1.klc:
setup.exe as administrator; this would add "Croatian - QWERTY" keyboard layout to your Windows, something like==> reg query "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts\a000041a"
