Windows 10: Outcome of PowerShell code to remove language in Windows10

Hello all,

I cannot add any new language under settings, I have no language bar in control panel, and I learned there is a bug in my Windows 10 Pro 1803 version.
So after using the command below (with help of Powershell):

Code: $LangList = Get-WinUserLanguageList $MarkedLang = $LangList | where LanguageTag -eq <sr_Latn-RS> $LangList.Remove($MarkedLang) Set-WinUserLanguageList $LangList -Force[/quote] I got this outcome:

Code: PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $LangList = Get-WinUserLanguageList >> $MarkedLang = $LangList | where LanguageTag -eq <sr_Latn-RS> >> $LangList.Remove($MarkedLang) >> Set-WinUserLanguageList $LangList -Force At line:2 char:49 + $MarkedLang = $LangList | where LanguageTag -eq <sr_Latn-RS> + ~ The '<' operator is reserved for future use. + CategoryInfo : ParserError: ) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : RedirectionNotSupported[/quote] Could you please explain me the meaning of outcome of this command?
I do not know any more, what to do.
Could you please try to help because this problem is very annoying to me (I am translator translating from 4 languages to Czech and Serbian took over "thanks" to the Windows 10 system).
PS: I do not know what is the difference between "display languages" and "language packs" if it is needed in this context.

Thank you in advance!

Removing Language

If you add a secondary language to Windows 10 version 1803 that shares the same base language as the Windows display language, neither language can be removed.

For example: If English (United Kingdom) is the current Windows display language, and you then add English (India) to the Preferred languages list, afterwards neither English (United Kingdom) nor English (India) can be removed from the Preferred languages list.

Note: The most notable effect of having multiple related languages in the Preferred languages list is additional entries in the text input selector. You can remove unwanted language list entries using these steps:

1. From the Start menu, search for powershell.

2. Right-click Windows Powershell in the search results and choose Run as administrator.

3. Type or copy/paste the following command at the command prompt, and then press Enter.

Get-WinUserLanguageList

After typing this command, make note of the “LanguageTag” listed for the language you wish to remove, as you will need it in the next step.

4. Type or copy/paste each of the following commands at the command prompt, and then press Enter. In the following commands, instead of typing <languagecode>, replace it with the language tag you wish to remove, such as en-in for English (India).

$LangList = Get-WinUserLanguageList

$MarkedLang = $LangList | where LanguageTag -eq "<languagecode>"

$LangList.Remove($MarkedLang)

Set-WinUserLanguageList $LangList -Force

 

Can't remove a language

Can't remove extra language in language bar
