Switching Keyboard Layout with PowerShell

by Mar 8, 2016

Next time you find yourself with a PowerShell console that uses the wrong keyboard layout, keep your fingers off the mouse! Do it with PowerShell (provided you use Windows 8.1/Server 2012 R2 or better):

 
PS> # turn to English layout
PS> Set-WinUserLanguageList -LanguageList en-us -Force

PS> # turn to German layout
PS> Set-WinUserLanguageList -LanguageList de-de -Force
