Release Notes

1. In the system registry of VDA, go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout.
2. Create a DWORD entry IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout=1.
By default, the IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout entry is unavailable. The default keyboard is set to ENG,
irrespective of the Control Panel setting.
For example, open an application, lock, or unlock the session, the keyboard is set to ENG. To resolve this issue, ensure
that you set IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout=1.
For information about the Keyboard Layout Modes and Keyboard Layout rules in Citrix Workspace app, see the Citrix Virtual
Apps and Desktops keyboard and IME configurations article at www.citrix.com/blogs.
