Windows 10: Can't delete the unneeded keyboard layout

Hello,


Please help me to delete the English (UK) keyboard layout, as I don't really need it. I have it in the layouts popup windows on taskbar, though in the settings there is no such layout! Therefore Windows think that there is nothing to delete. The screen shot is attached below.

keyboard layout bug?

I have the same issue here. I have done all the steps above and after a reboot the keyboard layouts are installed by windows automatically. This 99,99% a bug and needs a solution.

There are 2 new workarounds that I justfound that I will try:

1. To fix this issue, delete the Preload registry folder and restart (or sign out) the computer:

This folder seems to be some legacy remnant that contains non-user-specified keyboard layouts to be added to the list of languages when the user signs in. While the fix itself works through restarts, there's a few things that seem to bring back this folder:

• Remote desktop to a computer with US layout
• Win 10 Anniversary update
• Logging with Microsoft account on another PC that still has this issue

Whenever the problem comes back, that registry folder needs to be deleted again.

Edit: I have created a RemovePreload.reg text file with the following content, this way this fix can easily be re-applied every time without navigating the registry:

To use this, save it in a text file and change the extension from .txt to
.reg. Then whenever it comes back, you can just double click it and restart or sign out.

2. Remove unneeded language files from Windows like KBDUS.DLL or others located at:

C:\Windows\System32

Wrong keyboard layout in login page after update to 1607

Hi,

Since the issue reoccurred after updating to anniversary update, I suggest you to reconfigure the QWERTY keyboard layout and check if the same issue persists. This is to check if the issue is with Windows 10 1607 update.

I suggest you to follow the steps below to configure the keyboard layout:

• Open Settings and click on Time and Language.
• Click on Region and Language.
• Add the Country and click on add a language and select the language of your choice.
• This will take time to download the pack.
• Once this is done, Press Windows key + Space and press Space key to choose the keyboard layout.

Hope it helps. Revert to us with the results, will be glad to assist you.

Thank you.
