This has been answered to your earlier post - give time for people to
notice; this is not a staff of people hanging out to give instant
answers. But to repeat: Go to Control Panel - Regional And Language
Options. Take the Language page and click Details.
There if you do not see United Kingdom under Keyboard for English in the
lower pane, click on Add and search for it in the lower drop down, so
you have English (United Kingdom) and United Kingdom in those two panes.
Click OK. Then in the parent page, select this combination in the
Default Input language in the top drop down, Apply, OK and Apply any
time it is available on the way as you OK out. Then close and restart
to bring it into use.
