[WAC, Remote Desktop] - Wrong keyboard mapping is used

[PeterRoots]

Gateway Version: 1.3.2111.01001

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Remote Desktop
2. open something like notepad, powershell, web browser etc
3. type characters like @ / \ and they come out as something else entirely

RDP via WAC is essentially useless as it is impossible to easily enter file paths or web addresses etc

Expected behavior If I use a UK keyboard on a server set to use UK as the default locale and use a UK keyboard I expect to see the right characters in the the same way that I do it I connect directly using RDP

is there any update on this? it is completely impossible to enter a file path in file explorer like \filename\folder name\ as the \ comes out as # Please remember the rest of the world does not use a US keyboard
