I use an english version of Windows 10, but I have set the keyboard layout to German (Switzerland)
. This works fine if I am logged in with my user. The only keyboard available is my German(Switzerland)
keyboard, which is exactly what I want.
On the login screen on the other hand there are three keyboards available (which would be okay too), but German (Germany)
is the default. Since most of the special characters are on different keys, logging in is difficult, unless I switch the keyboard every time.
How can I change the default input method / keyboard layout for the login screen in Windows 10?

So make sure you have the display and input settings while logged in that you want to apply to the login screen before doing the steps:
I was able to use HoD's suggestion to find the solution here. It's for Windows 8.1, but works on 10 so far.
Hope it will help you, too!
