I have a very real problem which is making my new MBP 16" M1 Max nearly unusable.

I installed Parallels and Windows 11 Enterprise. I need Excel and Word in their Windows flavour as MSFT continues to cripple the macOS versions even in Office 365.

I live in Canada and have my MMP keyboard set to Canadian English.

It works perfectly on the macOS side of this.

It DOES NOT work properly on the Parallels / Windows side of things; specifically:

1. It operates as a Canadian French keyboard; and

2. The usual ALT+SHIFT or CRL+SHIFT commands to toggle between English and French and vice versa are not working; that is the keyboard is stuck in Canadian English.

The asks:

1. Does anyone else have this problem;

2. Does anyone have a solution.

PS. I did try switching my MBP keyboard to US but this change did not carry through to Parallels for some reason; that is, it is stuck on the Canadian English keyboard. I suspect that it has something to do with the keyboard ghosting problem I reported in another thread.

Thanks.
