Windows 10: AFR language keeps getting added to the keyboard input methods after restart even when removed

the problem started after an update I think during the last 3 months, I have 2 input methods English and Arabic, now whenever I try to switch language using the shortcut or from the taskbar I find 3 languages English, Arabic, and Afrikaans, it happens like 3-5 times a week when I log in to my account, also when I go to the language settings I can't find the Afrikaans language anywhere it only appears in the shortcut or when I cycle between languages the only way to remove it is to install the AFR language then remove it but it always comes back after the next restart

please help it is very annoying


thanks

1803: Cannot change/remove input methods/languages?

Hello everyone,

I have 4 languages installed, but only want 2 of them as input methods (keyboard). In previous Windows 10 versions, there was a Language section in the Control Panel where input methods could be removed.

This section has been removed in 1803, and there's "Advanced Keyboard settings" in Settings, but I cannot find anything useful there:




(not sure what are those hidden settings)

If I go to Region & language, select a language then Options/Keyboard, the keyboard cannot be removed (greyed out):





I know I can remove the languages entirely but this will also remove the text-to-speech files, which I want to keep and use. If I type "input methods" on the start menu, a "Change input methods" entry appears, probably a remnant from the previous version. An error will appear when clicked: Windows cannot find 'Microsoft.Language'.

What an unnecessary mess...
