Macbookpro Keyboard login problem (QWERTZ instead of French Switzerland)

Question

Hello,

after the last update Monterey 12.0.1, my keyboard layout at login has been changed.

Before the update, my keyboard was French Switzerland, on the login and on the OS.

Now, I have QWERTZ at login. Qwertz should be nice but the first time after update, my password never worked.

I guess there is a little difference between this QWERTZ and the French Switzerland layout.

Then, every time at login, I have to change the keyboard to French Switzerland in order to put my password.

I've searched how to change the login layout to fr-ch but did not found a workaround.

I have already try many things in Settings > Language & Region / Users & Groups but without success.

Is there someone do know this issue and can help ?

Thank you

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0

One workaround would be us change your password to avoid them.

Yes I already tried that, the input is ok after logged in.

I have also tried to add / modify these inputs in order to make changes happen to the login screen, but has no effect.

My problem happens only when I boot or reboot the OS. If I lock or logout, the keyboard layout is fr-ch and everything works.

The problem is when I boot my laptop, the keyboard layout on login screen is QWERTZ, and should be Switzerland (French).

Actually, I thought QWERTZ and Switzerland (French) are exactly the same, but it's not.

Thank you for your answer anyway ;)

Have you went to System Preferences>Keyboard>Input?

That is where you select the keyboard
