    How do I remove a language from the keyboard?


    After the latest update Windows restored English UK to the list of languages available to my keyboard and I can't figure out how to remove it. Based on instructions here I tried to list the installed languages from Powershell with Get-WinUserLanguageList, but I got only:


    LanguageTag : en-US
    Autonym : English (United States)
    EnglishName : English
    LocalizedName : English (United States)
    ScriptName : Latin
    InputMethodTips : {0409:00000409}
    Spellchecking : True
    Handwriting : False

    LanguageTag : he
    Autonym : עברית
    EnglishName : Hebrew
    LocalizedName : Hebrew
    ScriptName : Hebrew
    InputMethodTips : {040D:0002040D}
    Spellchecking : True
    Handwriting : False


    Any thoughts on how to remove English UK from the list of keyboard inputs?

    :)

  3. Remove secondary keyboard language.

    Hi Jacob,

    Removing a keyboard layout can be done through Control Panel and
    Settings. Before doing so, make sure that the language pack of your preferred keyboard layout is installed on your computer. To remove a keyboard layout through
    Control Panel, here's how:

    • Go to Control Panel. Under Clock, Language, and Region, click
      Add a language.
    • Click the keyboard layout that you want to remove, then click Options
      > Remove.

    To remove a keyboard layout through Settings, refer to these steps:

    • Go to Settings > Time & language >
      Region & language
      .
    • Click the keyboard layout that you want to delete, then click Remove.

    Feel free to post back if you have further questions.

    How do I remove a language from the keyboard?

    Can't (completely) remove language keyboard layout


    Yup, no such luck. My next step will be to temporarily install another language as the system language (like English UK or something), and remove US English as the default language and the keyboard, and everything, and then reboot and install it again and see if that does anything....

    But I am betting it won't. And my reason is because when I was inspired to make my own keyboard layout I downloaded one another person had made, whidch was based on English UK keyboard, and it did not work correctly for me so I uninstalled it (and have since improved, I think, upon what he had done,) and I just now realized that that keyboard, which was under English language and keyboard, is still in my list as well. When I had installed it then UK English had become one of the available languages, and I have since removed it from being active and so forht. So, basically I did to UK English what I am propsing to do for US English... and yet that old keyboard layout remains.

    There has to be somewhere that Windows keeps references all the different keyboard layouts available for the different language packs installed.... The question is where is that and how to modify it?
