I’m using Chinese input layout in my VDI, so usually I delete all other input layout.
And I found that every time when I login to my VDI via company’s laptop, my VDI’s default keyboard input layout will be changed to English (US), and I have to remove it again and again.

At beginning I thought it’s a windows bug, so I spent lots of time to check MS article to fix the problem…No fix…

And today I found that this issue is caused by Citrix not by Windows… Citrix introduced a new feature named “keyboard layout synchronization” in version 7.16. You can refer to below link:

https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-workspace-app-for-windows/configure.html#keyboard-layout-and-language-bar

To disable this feature,

On client: use local keyboard layout. Receiver side: select Advanced Preferences > Local keyboard layout setting > No
On VDA disable the keyboard layout sync feature.
For this open registry editor and navigate to HKLM\Software\Citrix\ICA\IcaIme
Add a new DWORD key called DisableKeyboardSync and set the value to 1 and reboot the VDA
