    Language bar disappears frequently


    I use English and Spanish keyboard settings on my Win 10 machines. Three machines -- two Dell, one Lenovo. Normally, the "ENG" or "ESP" setting appears in the taskbar, and I can click to toggle the input language. I can also use shift+left alt to toggle.


    But every day or two, the setting disappears from the taskbar, and there is no way to toggle languages. The only solution I've found is to sign out of windows, then sign back in. That fixes the problem, until the next time the control disappears.


    How do I fix this?

    :)

  2. Turn Language Bar OFF (hide it)


    Hello, I'd like to hide the language bar, as I did with Win7. Currently I have 2 keyboard layouts installed (German, which I use and English) My display language is English, and it seems I cannot remove the English keyboard layout (is it true? suggestions?) Under Win7, when only one layout was installed the Language bar would disappear automatically: any Idea about how to hide it in my case? Thanks for supporting, Marco

  3. Language Bar

    Just updated Windows 7 and my language bar disappeared

    though I still can switch between languages by pressing "up" and "alt"

    Toshiba Satellite laptop and Windows 7 here I did all of those:

    In Windows 7

    1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
    2. Under Clock, Language, and Region, click Change keyboard or other input methods.
    3. In the Region and Language dialog box, click Change keyboards.
    4. In the Text Services and Input Languages dialog box, click the Language Bar tab.

    I don't have "In the Text Services and Input Languages dialog box, ...b"

    but "docked" is checked

    It's really annoying after updates there are ALWAYS some glitches!
