`M->' or `M-<', I don't remember which one, switches the keyboard layout
in Windows.  (This is a functionality of Windows, not one of Emacs.)
Perhaps this is what's happening.  In the task bar there might be a
small indicator showing something like "EN" or "FR" which could help you
figure out which layout is active at a given moment.

That would contradict the theory of keyboard layout switching.
