As pointed out by Windows enthusiast Gustave Monce (@gus33000), the feature, which is currently living hidden in the classic Control Panel, renames the Language section into Keyboard and brings out a drop-down list of installed languages you can use on the login screen. If you’re still curious, read along to find out how you can enable this feature. — Gustave Monce (@gus33000) February 19, 2023
How can I change the default keyboard layout on the login screen?
- Make sure to have the Windows 11 Insider Build 25300 installed in your system. If not, head over to Microsoft’s download page for insider builds to do so.
- Head over to GitHub to download the latest version of ViVeTool.
- Once downloaded, click Extract all, select the location where you want to extract it by clicking Browse, then hit Extract. In this case, we extract it at C:\Users\WindowsReport\Documents\Tools\ViVeTool-v0.3.2
- Hit 🪟 on your keyboard, then type “cmd” and right-click on Command Prompt -> Run as administrator.
- Type in cd + the directory where we extracted ViVeTool. In this case, it’s at C:\Users\WindowsReport\Documents\Tools\ViVeTool-v0.3.2, then hit Enter.
- Type the following command then hit Enter.
- Reboot the computer. In the meantime, it’s still worth noting that being an insider-only feature that isn’t out for primetime yet, you may be running into some performance problems here and there, so, patience is a virtue.
