    Frustration with Automatic Translation Misinterpreting My Name

    The automatic translation translates my name to something like 'snot nose', and as soon as I turn it off, it starts back up almost immediately. Very irritating new option.

    Windows 11 Did Windows 11 just fix the keyboard layouts?

    Basically if you wanted to use, say, EN INT it would automatically add EN US and God forbid you if your Windows was on a different language. In my case Spanish is my main language and so Windows would add ES LAA and PE LAA (Perú) but I'm used to the English keyboard layout so I'd add EN INT and...
