Windows 10: How to remove default keyboard layout added by a language

Hello fellow members,I have English as my display language because I work as a software developer and most of my devices use English as the system language, though all my input layouts are German QWERTZ because I live in Germany.How do I remove this pesky English United States input layout effectively as I don't need it? Would upload an image but the upload functionality is brokenI've tried removing 409 from the registry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload and HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Preload but it's still there and always automatically selected on every reboot.Why can

:)

 

Unable to remove a 'default' language/keyboard layout

Dear dalchina,
thank you for the reply, but I am probably missing something.
As you can see from the attached picture, language settings DOES NOT list the keyboard layout I want to remove (ENG INTL). So, how can I remove a layout that is not listed in the Language settings?

Unable to remove a 'default' language/keyboard layout

I keep having an annoying problem.
I have only 1 language with 1 keyboard layout in Language settings




But the system keep changing keyboard layout (when restarting or resuming from sleep)

Indeed, if I press WIN+SPACE I can see both layouts!




I can I remove (forever) the unwanted layout (in this case ENG INTL) if I cannot even see it in settings?

Thank you,
Gianluca
