HKLM
Software\Policies\Citrix\Ica Client\Engine\Lockdown Profiles\All Regions\Lockdown\Virtual Channels\Keyboard This policy sets several registry values:
DisableLanguageBar Keyboard Enabled:
DisableLanguageBar = (deleted) Disabled:
DisableLanguageBar = 0 Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
