[2.0.x] Windows: type() problems running from commandline --- due to wrong active keyboard layout

Asked by Nobunaga Oda

**************** possible solution from the linked bug report:

It can be due to wrong active keyboard layout. I had the issue when I tried to type('s', Key.CTRL) whilst Ukrainian layout was active, which has no latin symbols

Run [Settings] > [Time & Language] > [Language] > [Spelling, typing, & keyboard settings] >
[Advanced keyboard settings] on Windows 10.
When [Override for default input method] was changed to [Use language list (recommended)],
no error occurred!
