#MSWindows complaint:

1) add #dvorak layout
2) switch to dvorak layout
3) lock screen
4) when unlocking, keyboard is switched back to qwerty
5) after unlocking, desktop keyboard is qwerty

Why can't it just stay dvorak? If someone clicks "other user", is it that hard to switch to qwerty then?

More #MSWindows keyboard oddness:

Org set up and pushed out keyboarded layouts in several languages. #ESOL classes, so many people with many languages, so great! Students can easily switch to French, Arabic, Chinese, etc. input. Wonderful.

But, it took 20 minutes to find out how to add my dvorak back to the list - in "Advanced Keyboard Settings".

Next day, #dvorak is gone from the list. But, still applied in advanced settings.

BUT, suddenly the lock screen IS dvorak!

#WTF Microsoft??

and after logging back in (from the lock screen; i didn't log out) the language bar shows "ENG" as before, but the keyboard is in fact in #dvorak mode.

MS, this shouldn't be this messed up in 2026.
