Description
If you change the keyboard layout within the vm to for example german (which means y and z swap place) and you have the Standard password 'MyWindowsPassword' set, winapps wont be able to access the vm anymore.
i think it's because of the y in 'my'.
My solution was to just change the password within the vm and in the config file.
but maybe winapps should have a setting for the keyboard Layout to use?
