    Scale & Layout

    Hi,

    Your question does not contain all the required information needed for us to help you. For us to better assist you, we'd like to ask the following information:

    • Which Windows version and build are you using? Type winver in the search bar and press
      Enter to find out.
    • Are you having issues changing with the scale and layout setting or you intend to change it?
    • Are getting any error messages?

    Meanwhile, most of the advanced display settings from previous versions of Windows are now available on the Display settings page.

    • Select Start and select Settings >System>Display.
    • If you want to change the size of your text and apps, use the dropdown menu under
      Scale and layout. In Windows 10, you can no longer change the text size of a specific item.
    • To change your screen resolution, use the drop down menu under Resolution.
    • To adjust your color calibration, search "calibrate display color" in the search box of Settings and follow the directions.
    • If you don't see a setting you're looking for, try searching for it in the search box on the taskbar.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    English (United States) keyboard layout keeps appearing

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that English (United States) keyboard layout keeps appearing automatically. I’ll certainly help you with the steps to remove it.



    I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned below and see if you are able to remove the language pack:



    1. Type command prompt in the search bar on the
      Taskbar.
    2. Right click on the command prompt icon and select
      Run as administrator.
    3. Now, paste the following command and hit Enter:
      lpksetup /u en-US.
    4. Restart the computer.


    Let us know the results.



    Regards,
