Input source selection on startup incorrect

I recently moved from a MBP 2018 to a MacBook Air M4. When I boot up my new computer, the input source defaults to another language. Initially it was Romanian, so I deleted the Romanian and Russian input sources that were configured. (I don’t type in those languages and had not added those keyboards.)


The installed input sources are US and French-PC. US is my default and I use it ~80% of the time. However, when I restart my computer it uses the French keyboard so my password is always wrong until I correct the keyboard. I shouldn’t have to do this.


Also strange but not in the scope of this question is that Russian was set as a dictation language, along with English. My computer was purchased online from Apple in France and shipped to me directly when they became available last month.

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 15.4
