Windows 10: How to remove ENG language bar/icon from taskbar?

I would like to remove the ENG bar/icon from the taskbar but cannot find the relevant setting. For some reason the US keyboard layout is listed even though it's not present in the control panel.

System Icon defaults to off on Input Indicator, Why?

Missing language bar, In order to see the multi-language bar on taskbar I have to open in Windows 10 PRO, Personalize, Taskbar, Turn on System Icons, turn on Input indicator in order to see the Language preference choices e. g. Eng./UKP for (Phonetic Ukrainian)!
When the system is rebooted the input indicator defaults to OFF!!! WHY???? Each time I need to switch from Eng. to UKP. (Phonetic Ukrainian), I have to turn the System Icon Input Indicator to on!! HELP!!!

 

Removing English UK Language from task bar and as keyboard input method

I set Regional and Languages to only 2 Languages: English US and Hebrew. But still, a third language (ENG for English UK) is showing on right end of task bar and I need to switch 3 times the keyboard in order to move from English to Hebrew or viceversa.

How can I remove the third language from my keyboard?

Thanks

Suzy

 

Just click on the keyboard and go options > remove. Then remove one of the additional keyboards.

 

Click on the keyboard? What? Did you look at the screenshot? There are no additional languages to remove!

 

Click on "English (United Kingdom)" Windows Display Language then > options and then you will see a list which you should save only the desired keyboard.

 

Thanks but that isn't possible. There are no other keyboards installed as per this screenshot: http://imgur.com/nAG1Huw.png

 

It is convoluted how to remove it.

Let's assume you require UK keyboard and UK English is default, but below works for any language.

In settings menus (new ones not control panel), you have to add US language, and make it default. This will then show US keyboard.

Then select options, and add UK keyboard to US language, and delete US keyboard.

Now set UK English as default and delete US English.

However be warned, some software can reinvoke the 'hidden' US keyboard - typically remote control apps do that.

 

Thank you for that tip. I use the UK English language with a choice of ENG UK, ENG INTL and ENG US keyboards. The spurious fourth 'hidden' US keyboard (just plain ENG) that kept appearing had been bugging me.

It's gone now, along with another problem I'd been having since the Creators Update. The WinKey + spacebar shortcut to switch keyboards was working, but didn't show the list of available keyboards on a first press of the keys. It wouldn't appear until the second press, making it difficult to see which one was being selected. That too is back to normal now.

 

Thanks, it help me a lot with my FRA (french) in my taskbar, i added english uk keyboard and removed it and now it's gone. Thanks!!!

 

Real PITA is if you remove it, it can get reinstated. This is because OS hides US keyboard, and it can get reinvoke when using software that has on screen keyboard ability. I use splashtop for remote access and it always reinstated it. Other times it just reappears for no obvious reason. This is not a bug per second, and is not new - happened on 8.1 as well.

 

What language Windows do you install, en-US or en-GB?

This only happens to me if I install en-US (which I normally do) and use a non US keyboard (always French). After clean install I always get the US keyboard as a second option. I delete it (through old control panel) but it comes back seemingly at random (thanks for the tip about onscreen keyboard).

If system (not display) language matches keyboard on OOBE I don't get the error - i.e. if I install fr-FR not en-US.

 

My install is en-gb, but it still happens to me. *Sad

 

Oh well, there goes that theory then...

 

The same problem appears on my freshly updated german 1709. I can switch between my DEU (Deutsch/German) and ENG with the keyboard shortcut WIN+Space, but I can't see the entry ENG in the language settings or where I could add another language.

If I add this English (US) entry - even If I never need it - change it to "Default", then change my DEU entry back to "Default" and remove the ENG (US) entry, the needless icon ENG on the taskbar disappear.

Strange thing...*Think
