[v5.6.1.1 beta] Wrong keyboard layout in WinPE media
#2

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:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window...windows-11

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

Sorry for forgetting to reply to you yesterday. Please open 'Backup Suite.ini' in WinPE and check whether the following values are 0407 and 00000407.
