Windows 10: Language bar keeps disappearing

Hello:

I use Windows 10, 64-bit, v. 1803. I can get the language bar to show up, but after a reboot, it is gone (always), and I have to reactivate it.

In Settings > Time & language > Region & language > Advanced keyboard settings, "Use the desktop language bar when it's available" is checked (and now, I know what they mean by "when it is available; it is sometimes not available, as in my case :-(

In Language bar options, "Docked in the taskbar" is checked (and I have tried "Floating on Desktop").

Checked are also "Show additional Language bar options in the taskbar" (don't know what it is, but just in case) and "Show text labels on the Language bar" (although, in its normal state, no text is apparent).

What could be wrong, and what should I do (hope someone knows!)?



:)

 

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

Some specific languages keep disappearing from the language toolbar in windows 10

I have been using language toolbar and 4 different keyboard languages (English, Spanish, Russian and Latvian) without any issues for about half a year in Windows 10.

This morning I suddenly realized that Spanish language has disappeared from the language toolbar. But it still was showed as "installed" in the language preferences!

I experimented with different kind of options, set the "old type of language bar" and from there I could switch to Spanish.

Then I realized language switching hot keys do not work, even if they appear to be set, just do not work.

In the meantime, now Latvian language disappeared from the language bar, and the "old type of language bar" also disappered.

I am very confused why languages keep disappearing from the language bar!
