[v5.6.1.1 beta] Wrong keyboard layout in WinPE media - al3x - 12-30-2025
Hi,
just made a new WinPE rescue media from the current v5.6.1.1 beta version from within a german Win11.
When booting from this rescue disk I just realized that the keyboard layout is wrong:
Pressing äöüß gives ';[- which seems to be the standard US layout instead of German.
I guess this is a side effect of the date/time display change that was introduced somewhere in the latest beta versions?
This can be fixed temporarily from within WinPE with this command:
wpeutil setkeyboardlayout 0407:00000407
You can also change this permanently with DISM during image creation, found this documentation here:

Hoping for a permanent fix though, entering passwords is hard if the keyboard layout is wrong
