So I have a friend who owns a Huwawei laptop which has a touch screen + regular detachable keyboard.
In Windows, the virtual on screen keyboard layout for both English and Arabic are fine. But when he is in the lock scren where he needs to enter the password, the entires layout is inverted, like the ESC key is on the far top right not top left for example.
There is a language button on the bottom right in the lock screen and if you click it, you would find English (United States), Arabic (United Arab Emirates), and Arabic (Saudi Arabia) which I don't know where that came from, it doesn't appear in the languages under Settings > Time & Language > Language and Region
any ideas why the virtual keyboad is inverted only on the lock screen yet appears perfectly fine in Windows in any other app?
He is on the latest build of 22H2.
