Windows 10: Mystery keyboard layouts were appear

While clean installing UK version of windows 11, I chose US keyboard, and after changing the system language to US. After restarting mystery keyboard layouts were appearHow to delete them? I want to have only 3 first

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)

 

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.

 

English (United States) keyboard layout keeps appearing

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that English (United States) keyboard layout keeps appearing automatically. I’ll certainly help you with the steps to remove it.



I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned below and see if you are able to remove the language pack:

1. Type command prompt in the search bar on the
   Taskbar.
   
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and select
   Run as administrator.
   
3. Now, paste the following command and hit Enter:
   lpksetup /u en-US.
   
4. Restart the computer.
   

Let us know the results.
