  1. Cannot change Language hot keys


    I currently have multiple languages inputs set up. Alt+Shift can be used to switch between them. As it happens, this key combination conflicts with another program I use, so I would like to disable it.


    I go to my language settings by simply typing "Language" in the search box. At the top right, there is a related link that says "Spelling, typing, and keyboard settings". If I click that and scroll down, there's an option for "Advanced keyboard settings". Clicking that brings me to a page with an option for "Input language hot keys".

    This, I believe, is where I would change this setting. However, if I click that link, I get the following error message.

    My guess and this is just a guess is that windows changed the way language settings work, by moving them to a new location in the control panel. However, they forgot to update the links. So this setting link is trying to run control panel in a way that opens up a particular set of options, but that set of options doesn't exist anymore so it throws an error.


    Anyway, please let me know if there is any way to resolve this. I am willing to edit the registry to get rid of the hot key if necessary.

    :)

    A Hot key for Ukrainian input language does not work.

    Thanks for reply.

    The issue exists on all computers with fresh installation of Windows 1709! Try it yourself.

    I've tried several key sequences for Ukrainian input language and none of them work. The icon in systray not changing, but I can click on it or press Win + Space and choose the language I need and it works fine.
