    Cannot see the language bar in the task bar and cannot switch language


    My OS is windows 10 Home 19041.572. I've installed all updates, and the recent updates may break the language.

    The 1st problem is I cannot see the language icon in the task bar anymore, even if the language is on in the taskbar settingsby default it is on and I didn't touch it.

    The 2nd problem is that I cannot switch the language. I uninstalled the language package and reinstalled it again. It still didn't work. Any hot keys ctrl + space or ctrl + switch are not working anymore.

    The 3rd problem is that I cannot select the keyboard. The options are greyed out and desktop only. I'm using a desktop and the tablet mode has been disabled.

    Hi Jada Rae,

    If you don't see the Language bar, do the following to check to see if the Language bar is hidden:

    In Windows 10 and Windows 8

    1. Press the Windows logo key and type Control to search for the Control Panel app.
    2. Click Control Panel.
    3. Under Clock, Language, and Region, click Change input methods.
    4. Click Advanced settings.
    5. Under Switching input methods, select the Use the desktop language bar when it’s available check box, and then click Options.
    6. Office 2016 Windows 8 Switching Input Methods.
    7. In the Text Services and Input Languages dialog box, click the Language Bar tab, and make sure that either the Floating On Desktop or the Docked in the taskbar option is selected.
    8. Office 2016 Windows 8 Text Services & Input Languages.

    In Windows 7

    1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
    2. Under Clock, Language, and Region, click Change keyboard or other input methods.
    3. In the Region and Language dialog box, click Change keyboards.
    4. In the Text Services and Input Languages dialog box, click the Language Bar tab.
    5. Language Bar tab
    6. Under Language Bar, check if the Hidden option is selected. If it is, select either Floating on Desktop or Docked in the taskbar.

  3. Windows 8.1 Limit on Number of Languages in Language Bar?

    I was trying to type Ukrainian this morning, and discovered that it was missing from the list of languages in the language bar, even though I have Ukrainian enabled. Is there a limit on the number of languages displayed in the language bar? If there is,
    then how do I switch my keyboard to a language not listed in the language bar?

    Language bar gone Cannot see the language bar in the task bar and cannot switch language :(


    Use Cortana in Windows 10 and search for Add a language and it should be at the top of the list.

    Or type in Language to go to the control panel.
