Windows 10: How long will the language hotkey bug take to get fixed?

As you are well aware, the hotkeys which allow a user to change languages by pressing CTRL and a number keep disabling themselves out of the blue. This has nothing to do with additional programs, drivers, updates or other third-party matters. It is quite simply a bug in Windows 10 which seems not to have existed in previous versions such as Windows XP or Windows 7.


Here is just one example of the matter being reported six years ago:

Six years is a long time to wait for something which should have been working in the first place when Windows 10 was released. How much longer are users going to have to wait for you to fix it?

language hotkeys problem

Thank you for your answer.

I just would like to add that sometimes the hotkeys are reset when I switch the language in Skype using hotkeys, sometimes not but Skype all the time starts hanging and it's necessary to restart it.

Hope Microsoft will fix this bug some day cause it's really annoying.
