Windows 10: I have Windows in English, can I have only the French Keyboard?

I want Windows to be in English US. I use all the applications in English US Windows Calendar.


However I am in France and I use the French FR keyboard.


But I don't need the EN US Keyboard at all in the list. I have no such a keyboard in France, and I don't want to switch between keyboards I don't use.


So, Windows in EN, Application in EN, but the only keyboard I need is FR.


However, it seems Microsoft didn't think to such a case. In order to have, say, Windows Mail application interface in English, I need to add the English... KEYBOARD ?!!.


Is there a workaround on this?

Can't delete french keyboard input!


For some reason, on my mother's PC on which a guy upgraded the PC from Windows 7, the French of France keyboard will not allow to be deleted. The France French keyboard is not in the list of input methods but it still shows in the language bar.

Windows is in French and the main language is French from France. It is the same here on my own computer and I do not have the French France keyboard, only French Canada.

Is there any solution ?

 

Keyboard languages are all over the place (English US/Canada, Canadian French)

I have to switch between multiple keyboard languages on a daily basis with Windows+Space, but the keyboard languages are all over the place, making switching between languages extremely annoying. I have a keyboard with US layout. These happen on both my
desktop and my laptop.

When I say "French (Canada)" or "Français (Canada)", I refer to the windows language.

When I say "Canadian French" and "Canadian French (Legacy)", I refer to the keyboard layouts

1. I have set Canada as my location, as it is where I live, but this causes the keyboard to randomly have both
English (United States) and
English (Canada) as languages despite the fact that I only have
English (United States) with
US keyboard in languages. They are exactly the same and I would like to somehow get rid of
English (Canada). Usually there is only one of them.

2. My french settings keep randomly switching. I usually use the Canadian French keyboard layout and I only have Canadian French in the languages settings under
French (Canada)

Sometimes, "Canadian French (Legacy)" (which behaves very differently when it comes to accents) is added and selected. I have never added "Canadian French (Legacy)" myself and it is not listed in settings despite appearing
in the language bar and being selectable and usable. In other words, it randomly adds and switches keyboards.

I used to be able to fix this by going into Languages/Français (Canada), adding some random layout (like dutch or whatever) so that I can remove
Canadian French (as it's the only one listed despite the fact that both
Canadian French and Canadian French (Legacy) are in the language bar), re-adding
Canadian French, and finally removing the random layout I added. This fix only works temporarily as it can happen again at any time and when rebooting.

This is driving me crazy as I have to switch between 4 different languages often (for example, accessing both french and english quotation marks) and this messes up big time with my muscle memory of Windows+Spacing to switch. If I miss the language I was
aiming for, I have to press space through all the list to get back where I was. My language bar also becomes pretty huge.

My language bar when it happens.
