Windows 10: Phantom languages in my language list

When I open the language list on the toolbar, I have four languages listed, but I should only have two, because I only have English in the language preferences settings, and I chose two keyboards for English, US and INTL. The other two languages showing are Hebrew and Amharic, I suspect I did experiment with adding these at one point, because I work for a linguistic organization and advise colleagues working in other languages. But now I don't need them and do not want them in the list, but I cannot see how to remove them when they are not shown in Settings. What can I do?The choices on the l

Tooltips displayed in the wrong language

Although my version of Windows is set to English and the GPU-Z "Tooltip Language" appears as "System Default (English (United Kingdom))", the tooltips are appearing in the language corresponding to my system locale (or possibly keyboard layout), not the actual system language. I frequently change the keyboard layout and date format (to match the clients I'm working for and the language I'm writing in), but the system language never changes (and software is supposed to run in that language).

I can manually select "English (United States)", but this basically makes it impossible for me to select the "correct" language (i.e., UK English), because it doesn't appear in the list (other than as "system default" - but is then ignored). Obviously it makes no difference to me if it's in UK or US English, but people with other language combinations might have a problem.

It seems the routine that populates the language list in the options is (correctly) determining the system language, but the routine that actually generates the tooltips is (incorrectly) reading the system locale instead of language.
