Windows 10: Every major w10 update add another EN keyboard...

Hello, this is getting really frustrating as of lately.


I used to have my system language in UK english (it was default back when I installed w10, didn't bothered to change it) and I had added a EN US keyboard layout and a Greek keyboard layout in my languages for typing.


In every major update windows kept adding the EN UK keyboard, so I changed the system language to EN US to avoid this behavior.


So yesterday I applied the may update and surprise! windows added again the UK English keyboard!


Now I'm not here to just cry, I'm here to help me get rid of it because it does show in the language bar at the taskbar





but it doesn't show in the language options to remove it! Also for some reason now it show the US keyboard again, after tampering a bit with the use language to see if it is in the keyboard options another EN one!





What is going on here? Why I have languages that I can't remove from the keyboard selection? How can I remove the unwanted languages?

I though changing the system to US EN could stop adding the UK one, why is it coming back?

:)

 

Windows Major Update KB4040724 - now desktop does not respond to the USB keyboard

• Have you tried removing the recently installed update and check if the issue persists?

Yes, I have now removed Major Update KB4040724 and did the following...

- I disconnected the current keyboard…went through Steps 1-6.

- and then plugged a totally different mfg & model USB Keyboard into a different USB port.
I had used this different keyboard from Aug-2016 until March-2017 in Windows 10… without any issues.

- the desktop made no attempt to download & install a required driver.

- The manufacturer instructions are to simply plug the cord into a USB port, and Windows will install the proper driver...that is not happening.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Regards - Ed

 

Windows Major Update KB4040724 - now desktop does not respond to the USB keyboard

RE: Update KB4040724

• Have you tried updating the keyboard drivers?

This is what I did today, Oct-3-2017...

I disconnected the keyboard…went through Steps 1-6 and the Keyboard still permits me to type 7-8 letters, them behaves in a strange manner…

Example # 1 - type a single "S"….and it inserts 10-12 "S's" without holding the key down.

Example # 2 - keyboard automatically establishes "NUM LOCK" or "CAPS Lock" and will not further respond.



I repeated steps 1-6... no response or control with the keyboard. This keyboard was in use with Win-10, from March-2017 until immediately (as in 1 minute) prior to installing the
Major Update KB4040724... then going through the required system re-boot...and immediately discovering the non-functioning same keyboard.



I repeated steps 1-6... plugged the keyboard in a different USB outlet on the desktop... desktop downloaded and installed the keyboard driver...same erratic behavior…and then received a Windows 10 error message "The USB device you just connected to
the computer malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it".



NEXT STEP

- I disconnected the current keyboard…went through Steps 1-6.

- and then plugged a totally different mfg & model USB Keyboard into a different USB port.
I had used this different keyboard from Aug-2016 until March-2017 in Windows 10… without any issues.

Again…the desktop automatically downloads the required driver, and allows me to type 8-10 letters and/or digits….and freezes…unable to type letters or numbers.

New response...the keyboard is functional only on the "Windows icon" button…but does not allow me to enter letters or digits.

Q: Have you tried removing the recently installed update and check if the issue persists? Not yet ...but to encounter the identical problem on a totally different keyboard, in a different USB port, appears to be additional indications
that the problem resides with Update KB4040724 software, rather than the hardware drivers. That is just my opinion as a consumer and not as a Windows 10 expert.

Suggestions or comments appreciated. Thank you. / Ed

Hi David,

I suggest you to check if the issue persists when you connect another keyboard to your system.

• 
  Press Windows key + X and select
  Device Manager from the list.
  
• 
  Expand ‘Keyboard’ from the list.
  
• 
  Right click on the driver and select ‘update driver software’ and follow the prompts.
