Windows 10: Input indicator no longer appears in the taskbar

I've lost the language input indicator in the taskbar. Alt-Shift no longer works when switching languages.


I am running Windows 10 Version 1809 (OS Build 17763.437).


The language indicator with the keyboards I've installed still appears on the lock screen, just not in the taskbar.


In the taskbar settings, "Turn system icons on or off", the "Input Indicator" setting is set to "On".


Turning it off and on again doesn't work.

Locking and unlocking the taskbar doesn't work.


Running ctfmon.exe doesn't seem to do anything.


It feels like this issue appeared after the last Windows update. Please help!

Input Indicator icon doesn't appear in the taskbar

When the computer starts the Input Indicator icon doesn't appear in the taskbar. I use Settings\System\Notifications & Actions\Turn system icons on or off and change the setting for Input Indicator to "On".

This works fine as the "ENG" icon appears. However when the computer is restarted after being shut down the "ENG" icon re-disappears. It seems that this setting is just temporary and reverts to "Off" when shut down.

How do I make the Input Indicator setting remain "On"?

 

Jump Lists No Longer Appear


After the uninstallation of some software yesterday, I no longer have jump lists in my taskbar icons. I right click on them, and there's no response whatsoever. Right click functionality on the taskbar itself and in all other places appears to be normal. I'm hoping there will be a relatively simple registry key I can edit or something. Anyone have some suggestions?

 

Windows 10 Input Indicator icon on taskbar

When the computer starts the Input Indicator icon displays "ENG" alongside the clock in the taskbar.

I use Settings\System\Notifications & Actions\Turn system icons on or off and change the setting for Input Indicator to "Off".

This works fine as the "ENG" icon disappears. However when the computer is restarted after being shut down the "ENG" icon re-appears. It seems that this setting is just temporary and reverts to "On" when shut down.
