From Add/remove keyboard languages through a batch file, I know I can change keyboard settings.

Is there also a way of exporting the current settings in the same format so that I can import it later?

I googled for "export control intl.cpl" and "intl.cpl parameters" to find possible parameters for the control panel

It is not sufficient to export a Registry key as mentioned in one of the answers. I tried that, and it did not work. And it's obvious that this could never work: When you install a keyboard layout like Chinese simplified, Windows needs to install some required language features and download them. A Registry export/import will not do that.

  • Did you check `REG QUERY "HKCU\Keyboard Layout" /s` from your [quoted question](https://stackoverflow.com/a/16542534/463115)? – jeb Oct 06 '21 at 05:03
  • @jeb: I thought it was obvious that this cannot work. I tried it anyways and updated the question accordingly. – Thomas Weller Oct 07 '21 at 07:53

you can export the next reg file and run in other computer:

Computer\HKCU\Control Panel\International

  • That Registry key seems to contain language specific settings like currency symbols, time format etc. I'd like to change the keyboard only, not everything else. – Thomas Weller Oct 05 '21 at 21:30
