Windows 10: Keyboard layout button shows English UK US option which doesn't exist in the Language and...

How do I delete it?

Keyboard settings (UK layout not working)

I have a UK layout keyboard (shift + 2 is "), but my computer insists on using US layout (shift + 2 is @). I use a Corsair STRAFE keyboard.

• In iCue (Corsair keyboard app), the layout is set to UK.
• In Settings app, the system language is English UK. The Preferred language is English UK, and the keyboard has one layout, English UK.
  • If I add a US keyboard to it, and use Win + Space, two options show up to cycle through:
    • English (UK) - US Keyboard
      
    • English (US) - US Keyboard
• In Control Panel main menu, there is only 'Clock and Region,' not 'Clock,
  Language, and Region.'

Please any help would be great!

 

Can't (completely) remove language keyboard layout

Yup, no such luck. My next step will be to temporarily install another language as the system language (like English UK or something), and remove US English as the default language and the keyboard, and everything, and then reboot and install it again and see if that does anything....

But I am betting it won't. And my reason is because when I was inspired to make my own keyboard layout I downloaded one another person had made, whidch was based on English UK keyboard, and it did not work correctly for me so I uninstalled it (and have since improved, I think, upon what he had done,) and I just now realized that that keyboard, which was under English language and keyboard, is still in my list as well. When I had installed it then UK English had become one of the available languages, and I have since removed it from being active and so forht. So, basically I did to UK English what I am propsing to do for US English... and yet that old keyboard layout remains.

There has to be somewhere that Windows keeps references all the different keyboard layouts available for the different language packs installed.... The question is where is that and how to modify it?

 

Language versus Keyboard layout

I'm not sure you are completely getting the problem.

There is only one PC and only one keyboard. (which is an integral part of the PC). I bought the PC in the US (but now wish I had not).

Having bought a US PC, I quickly changed the language to UK English. However, that changed the keyboard layout to UK English. For reasons that are beyond my comprehension, those two layouts are not the same.

• For example, to hit the @-button in the US layout. simply press Shift + 2 (the number 2 in the top row).
• To do the same in the UK English layout, go to the opposite end of the keyboard. You will find that 'at' sign in some random location.

So, the issue is overwhelmingly simple. I have a US PC, with US software, and a US keyboard layout. However, I don't want my spell-checker saying that I don't need a 'U' in colour. Do me a favour! I really do!

So, what combinations of buttons to I have to press to enable:

Display language: US English
Input Language: UK English
Format: UK English

Location: UK
