Windows 10: languages preferred

Hi

Why does African language often appear on languages preferred even though I have not chosen them?

managing language preference

Hello,



I've got some ergonomic problem because I have to change my language preferences often and the "alt+maj" shortcut is wrong.

I had to deactivate this shortcut because it conflicts with video game controls and I'm unable to reassign the shortcut freely.

I waste my time by going in the taskbar to change my language preference because I write in
both French and English, and the language preference are used to set up spell checker for several software. And also because some early access game need a QWERTY keyboard configuration.



My configuration:

• Win10 Pro (country: Belgium, Language: French(France) )
• Two language pack are installed ("French[FRANCE]" and "English[USA]")
• 3 keyboard configurations ("French- AZERTY", "English-QWERTY" & ""English-AZERTY")
• The "maj+alt" shortcut is deactivated due to the conflict with game controls.

The result is:

• French - AZERTY (needed)
• English - AZERTY (needed)
• English - QWERTY (needed)
• French (Belgium) -AZERTY (don't needed and I don't want it. it's due to the country setting… -_-)

So the ergonomy is deeply inefficient. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?



Sincerely.

 

Language preferences

I access the region and language settings as you can see from pic1 I uploaded, but the problem is that English(UK) is not in the list with preferred languages so I can't remove them from there. They just appear in the task bar - down right corner, so it
is a few extra taps on Alt+Shift to get the right layout for me. Thank you anyway for your time Pedro.

 

Having trouble with language preferences

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

We can try few of the troubleshooting steps below to further eliminate the root cause of the issue.

Method 1:

1. Navigate the Settings > Time & Language > Region & language.
   
2. Under the Preferred language, if
   Bulgarian is set as first in the list, click on the down arrow key
   and make the language as second in the list.
   
   back up the registry first.
   
   Disclaimer: The registry is a database in Windows that contains important information about system hardware, installed programs and settings, and profiles of each of the user accounts
   on the computer. Windows often reads and updates the information in the registry.
   
   Normally, software programs make registry changes automatically. You should not make unnecessary changes to the registry. Changing registry files incorrectly can cause Windows to stop working or make Windows report the wrong information.
   
   If you still face the issue, reply to this post with more information.
   
   Hope it helps.
