Autopilot Deployment Profile - keyboard layout incorrect

Question

We have configured our Windows Autopilot Deployment Profile to be as follows: Language (Region) = English (United Kingdom) Automatically configure keyboard = Yes

However, the keyboard layout is incorrect, being set to "English (United States)" which means the layout will be incorrect for any special characters in the password upon first logon on a Autopilot PC:

How can we ensure we have "Region = English (United Kingdom)" together with "Keyboard = English (United Kingdom)" for our OOBE experience? Thanks, Steve

Ensure that Windows Autopilot Deployment Profile is assigned to the device before you initiate the Autopilot Reset process. Could you click on the Autopilot Device and on the Right-hand side flyout pane check and confirm if this Deployment profile is assigned correctly. In few cases, it causes issues and deployment profile shows not assigned. Refer to the guide to fix this issue: https://cloudinfra.net/fix-autopilot-profile-status-shows-not-assigned/.

@Steve Phillips, Thanks for posting in Q&A.

From your description, I know you encountered an issue that keyboard layout is incorrect during Autopilot.

Based on my researching, it might be a problem which existing Windows setup instead of autopilot, the layout mess maybe vary in different countries.

Here are some methods you can try.

1.Reset the device, configure another Autopilot Deployment profile and Set Language (Region) to User select, then you can configure language and keyboard during OOBE stage manually.

2.You can change your device language and keyboard after Autopilot follow the link below.

We experience the same, the basic autopilot profile is set to Danish and configure keyboard automatically. But the keyboard becomes US at first sign in..
