Windows 10: Problem with switching languages

After the last Windows update in December, I cannot switch the languages on the keyboard. This issue occurs each time after the update. But the last update is getting me mad because I cannot switch languages at all!

:)

 

Prevent language from automatically being changed

• Since Keyla has stopped working.
• Two.
• When I test if the language stays after switching between programs - I switch to a different program, then switch the language, then switch to the previous program.

The steps you suggested didn't work, as I don't want to remove any of the languages.

 

Unable to switch languages after update

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand how frustrating it could be when the features are not working properly. Please reply to the following questions to help you further.

• How many languages are installed on the computer currently?
  
• What happens when you try to switch between the languages?
  
• Which edition of Windows 10 is installed on the computer?
  

I suggest you to remove the other languages installed on the computer except English, and install the languages again. Please follow the steps mentioned to remove the languages:

1. Press and hold Windows + I key on the keyboard to open Settings.
   
2. Click on Time & Language.
   
3. Click on Region & language.
   
4. Under Windows display language, select
   English from the dropdown list.
   
5. Now, under preferred languages make sure that
   English language is at the top. If you don’t see English language on top click on the English language and click on the up arrow to move the language at top.
   
6. Now, remove the other languages installed on the computer.
   

You can refer the section Add an input language from the article
Add and switch input and display language preferences in Windows 10 to add an input language.

Hope it helps.
