Windows 10: How do I remove a keyboard layout which isn't showing up in the settings?

I have a keyboard layout Arabic Bahrain 102 which I set up at installation of windows, Later I realized that I needed 101 not 102. But when I try to go to the settings to remove this language it doesn't show in the list but it does show up in the language list when I try to change the language from the taskbar or using the Windows icon + SpacebarHere as you can see I have 3 languages in the list but in settings I only have 2. I want to remove the Arabic Bahrain 102

how to remove keyboard layout?

Hi,

For some unknown reasons I have this african (???) keyboard layout added to the keyboard switcher list. I don't want it. How can I remove it?
Thanks!
EDIT: To clarify this: I have never added this layout, and it is not present in the list at the settings pane.

Hi Eric,



We regret the inconvenience caused.



The above issue might occur due to the following reasons:

• Country & Region settings not enabling you to delete the keyboard language set on the PC.
• Not choosing appropriate default keyboard layout.

Before we assist you further, I would like to ask you a few questions:

• Did you try removing the keyboard layouts from Settings page?
• If yes, does the issue persists even after removing the keyboard layout?

By removing the Keyboard layout from system Settings page, the language will be removed from the PC. However, if needed, you can download the same from system
Settings page and check if the changes made are effective.

Control panel. Follow either of the steps below to remove the keyboard layout and check if the issue is resolved.



Step 1: System Settings window.

  Settings page.
• Click on Time & language from the options and select
  Region & language from the left side panel of the window.
• Click on the keyboard language you want to remove under Languages and click on
  Remove.
• Close the window and check if the changes are effective.

Step 2: Control panel.

• Press Windows logo + X keys on the keyboard and click on
  Control panel from the context menu.
• Click on View by option located at the top right corner of the window and select
  Large icons from the dropdown bar.
