Description

When installed as a service, scancode mapping for non-US keyboards will not work correctly on first boot if the user's Windows installation does not have the English (US) language & keyboard installed as a fallback, and/or the installation is configured to automatically log in.

On first boot, Sunshine does not translate the international keys correctly, and modifier keys such as ctrl/alt/shift will appear stuck after first press (which can be visually confirmed via the On-Screen Keyboard application). Restarting Sunshine after the desktop session has loaded fixes mapping on subsequent connections, indicating that the US locale is loaded but isn't activated correctly in Sunshine when the desktop session is not yet loaded.

This can be fixed by invoking ActivateKeyboardLayout() (scoped to Sunshine's process) after loading the US locale.
