  1. Bug when switching between input languages


    We have a desktop machine with Windows 10 Home 1803. We use English and Bulgarian as input languages. Two types of very annoying problems appear spontaneously almost every day and the only way to fix them is restart:

    - It becomes impossible to switch between input languages. No matter if you do it with Win-Space or the button in the task bar, the language does not change.

    - The Phonetic layout suddenly changes to Typewriter or the other way round, and it is then impossible to change it because the language settings show the original setting, which is already switched.


    Btw, there are two users on the machine. One of them uses English and Bulgarian Phonetic, and the other uses English and Bulgarian Typewriter. I suspect that the bug might be related to that.

  2. Uninstall primary input language


    Hello,
    I'm using english-US as display language, but german (DEU) as keyboard input language.

    I would like to uninstall the english (ENG) keyboard since the input language switches to english when I hide the unneeded language bar.
    It was very simple under win7, but here I did not find the way (remove is disabled). Can you suggest a solution?

    Thanks, Marco

    Windows reverting to wrong input language


    My Windows display language is set to English (United States) which is the only language pack I have installed.
    I have several input languages enabled because I need to be able to switch when inputting in different languages.
    In the Language control panel I have set English (United States) at the top of the list. However, after every reboot Windows reverts my input language to German which is at the bottom of my list.
    In the Advanced Settings of the Language control panel I have now set "Override for default input method" to English as well but still to no avail.
    What else is there to change? I'm getting fed up having to change the input language every time I start up my PC.
