Cannot remove English input method from Windows 10

Hello,

I am not sure if this is related to Parallels, but recently I cannot remove English input method from Windows 10.

I only want to use Japanese IME but Windows forcibly change my input method to English.
The English input method reappears after I completely remove English language pack from Windows.

There is a new "English (United States) - United States (Apple) - Parallels" keyboard
but does anyone know what this keyboard is for?

Thank you,

 

Hi, did you try steps from this KB article?

 

You can also try the following steps, but please make a full backup copy of your VM before using this workaround.
- Shut down Windows virtual machine.
- From Parallels Desktop menu go to Window -> Virtual Machines List -> right-click on your virtual machine -> select 'Show in Finder' -> right-click on the .pvm -> select 'Show package contents'-> open config.pvs using TextEdit -> locate the "KeyboardLayoutSync" tag -> change 'Enabled' value to '0' (zero) -> close config.pvs -> reboot your VM

 

Hello Maria,

Thank you for your reply.
I will try your methods

Kind regards,

 

Thanks a lot Maria.
I encontered the same problem and could fix this by your advice.

I'm using Parallels + Windows 11 Japanese with US keyboard. I thought (not sure, just thought) this happens after update Parallels and following Parallels Tools installation.
Regards.
