`us altgr-intl` layout on Windows 10

Question

Is there a US international keyboard layout variant for Windows 10 that behaves like altgr-intl on Linux? That is, if I press ' it appears on-screen immediately (no deadkey), and if I want to type E I need to press Alt Gr+' followed by E.

I don't mind downloading it from a third-party.

@DavidPostill Also, from the description it looks like the author simply removed the deadkeys, instead of moving them to `altgr+key`. So I suppose it's going to be impossible to type `é` on this layout. — Federico Poloni, Sep 24 '16 at 12:34

Here you can get what you want under United States International Alternate:

You can install it either through the executable or you can opt for the KLC source file(s) and install the layout with Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator.

Don't know why it got a downvote, but it seems exactly what I need. Thanks! – Federico Poloni Apr 14 '17 at 06:23

it's probably a -1 because it's just a list of keyboard installers that will trigger your corporate virus scanner, and it doesn't give any specifics on how to get the source file or install `us altgr-intl` on windows 10. – mendota Dec 12 '17 at 18:49
From user [Lu Tao](https://superuser.com/users/590814/lu-tao): For this method to work in Windows 10, just reboot after the setup.exe is done, the added keyboard will show in the list of available layouts under `Region & Language settings > Click on current keyboard > Options > Add a Keyboard` – fixer1234 Oct 24 '18 at 20:59

This method is still working perfectly on win 10 in november 2020. Thanks, nothing else worked for this problem. – user139299 Nov 23 '20 at 21:09

Another method is using an AHK script.
When you want to find out more about this method, please also take a look at the UltimateKEYS website and its GitHUB repository.

This is a project which I developed (based on EurKEY) and which attempts to harmonize languages with Latin-based alphabets on US QWERTY, having the dead key combinations, etc. on AltGr and AltGr+Shift.

This is the UltimateKEYS Keyboard Layout:

Alternatively to @norok2 you can create any keyboard layout using Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator. Here's my step-by-step for Windows 10

Download and install
Open software and Load Existing Keyboard... from File menu. In my case I loaded US-International and saved it as US-International-AltGr (not rewriting original)
Right click over quote keys and remove Set as dead key flag
Check Shift States' Shift and uncheck dead keys again
Optinal: You can test under Project > Test Keyboard Layout
Once pleased, go to Project > Build DLL and Setup Page. It will check everything's alright and open created files
Click setup.exe and follow simple wizard
Important: Reset your PC. Found weird behavior in VSC before this

This was written with my new keyboard layout ;)
