In your Windows 7 , it seems that your welcome screen is using a different keyboard layout.

To fix this ,

In your control panel , go to : Regional and language - > Administrative

click on Copy Settings

Check the Welcome screen and system accounts , you can also check the New user accounts .

Click OK and restart .

Hi,

I tried this step and its not working.

Most the keys were not working and when i turned off the Num lock it started working apart from the backslash and the Shift 3 in the keyboard.

Am using Horizon client to connect to my VM via PCoIP .

Please advice
