Mysteriously appearing language and keyboard layout

My Windows 10 was originally installed in Czech language, then I had the language changed to English. I now switch between two keyboard layouts: English (United States) and Slovak (QWERTY) via ALT+SHIFT. Every few weeks - without any action on my side -
the following happens:

- Another keyboard layout appears in the taskbar: Slovak (QWERTZ)

- Another language appears in the taskbar: Czech

Neither of these two are visible in Language preferences, only in the taskbar. And they become part of the cycle when quick-switching between keyboard layouts via ALT+SHIFT. When I want to remove them, I first need to "install" them in Language preferences
so they appear there as well. And only then I can uninstall them in Language preferences. It's really annoying.

Does anyone have a clue what to do? Either to stop this from happening at all, or at least have some script ready for automatically adding and then removing these two items.

 

Keyboard Layout

"Letters and numbers are all correct, but most of the other signs are misplaced"

This suggests to me that you are using the wrong "keyboard language" for your keyboard, and that therefore you first step would be to determine exactly what language keyboard you have. Possibly have a look at Windows Keyboard Layouts - Globalization | Microsoft Docs.

(The age of any laptop capable of running Windows 10 at all should not be a problem as regards keyboard layout)

 

The extra keyboard layout keep adding to my language bar (with Pics)

Hi Panupong,

The updated Windows 10 may have detected your language, the reason why it automatically gave you the other Thai US keyboard. To correct this issue, we suggest that you follow these steps:

• Click on the Start Menu, type in region and language settings and select it.
• Under Languages, select Thai Kedmanee keyboard and click Remove.
• Lastly, add it back by clicking Add a language.

After these steps, your keyboard layout will permanently stay with Thai Kedmanee keyboard.

Let us know if the steps above resolved your issue.
