    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,

    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

    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.
