how to remove keyboard layout on Windows 10?

Hi Eric,



We regret the inconvenience caused.



The above issue might occur due to the following reasons:

• Country & Region settings not enabling you to delete the keyboard language set on the PC.
• Not choosing appropriate default keyboard layout.

Before we assist you further, I would like to ask you a few questions:

• Did you try removing the keyboard layouts from Settings page?
• If yes, does the issue persists even after removing the keyboard layout?

By removing the Keyboard layout from system Settings page, the language will be removed from the PC. However, if needed, you can download the same from system
Settings page and check if the changes made are effective.



You can remove the keyboard layout either from system Settings page or
Control panel. Follow either of the steps below to remove the keyboard layout and check if the issue is resolved.



Step 1: System Settings window.

• Press Windows logo + I keys on the keyboard to open
  Settings page.
• Click on Time & language from the options and select
  Region & language from the left side panel of the window.
• Click on the keyboard language you want to remove under Languages and click on
  Remove.
• Close the window and check if the changes are effective.

Step 2: Control panel.

• Press Windows logo + X keys on the keyboard and click on
  Control panel from the context menu.
• Click on View by option located at the top right corner of the window and select
  Large icons from the dropdown bar.
• From the panel, click on Language.
• Under Change your language preferences click on the keyboard layout to remove and click on the
  Remove button which will now be available to use.
• Close the window and check if the changes are effective.

Write to us with the status of the issue on the keyboard layout language removed from the PC for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.

Remove secondary keyboard language.

Hi Jacob,

Removing a keyboard layout can be done through Control Panel and
Settings. Before doing so, make sure that the language pack of your preferred keyboard layout is installed on your computer. To remove a keyboard layout through
Control Panel, here's how:

• Go to Control Panel. Under Clock, Language, and Region, click
  Add a language.
  
• Click the keyboard layout that you want to remove, then click Options
  > Remove.

To remove a keyboard layout through Settings, refer to these steps:

• Go to Settings > Time & language >
  Region & language.
• Click the keyboard layout that you want to delete, then click Remove.

Feel free to post back if you have further questions.
