    Keyboard language mess up

    Hi Julie,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community Forums.

    • What is the make and model of the computer?
    • When you say that your preferred keyboard language disappeared or was deleted, did you try reinstalling it?
    • If yes, were you able to reinstall it?
    • If No, what happens when you try to reinstall it or any other keyboard language?

    Kindly provide some more details so that we can suggest the appropriate troubleshooting steps.

    Meanwhile, make sure that Windows is up to date. I would suggest to create a new user account and see if you can add/remove the keyboard languages.

    Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10

    We look forward for your reply.

    Regards,

    Peer Samie
