So I decided to rename the AppleKeyboardLayouts.bundle file to AppleKeyboardLayouts.bundle.old so it would not be used, so the only option I have now is the British – Windows 2 so it cannot revert back. The only problem which is major is when I log out the keyboard is not recognised, so I cannot enter my password to login. I have to restart the Mac which does not ask for a password, else I think I would be in trouble. I cannot enter my password in any password box in order to rename the bundle file back to fix this issue! Had to remove my password in order to put the file back. So therefore the proper solution above does not work for me as it keeps reverting back to the wrong British for the keyboard I am using.
