Hi

I have an issue with Windows 8.1 64bit Enterprise. I have 2 languages installed on my computers, English and Hebrew.

I set the default input language to English and copied the settings over to the welcome screen using Region (and I also tried the trick of going through the language bar) and yet when I lock my computer, the language is set to whatever I had on last, so if I had Hebrew set at that moment it will go to Hebrew at the lock screen and I will have to change languages.

Is there a way to set a fixed language for the logon screen and lock screen? My users keep locking their accounts for this.

Thanks.

Itzik.

Hi MercuryZ,

As far as I know, the "Administrative" option included in the Region control panel is used to change the welcome screen language.

To change the Lock Screen language, we could refer to the following link:

Unfortunately this isn't what I'm looking for. The guide you linked speaks of changing the display language of the clock and date in lock screen. My issue is the keyboard language which changes to Hebrew causing users to lock their accounts and get frustrated that their password isn't working.

I just need to know if there's a way to lock the keyboard (typing) language to English in all lock screens always. I don't really get why there's an option to change languages in lock screen anyways. Users and Passwords are always English....

Hi MercuryZ,

Please check this configuration:
