    Ok, so that's the situation right now if I click input methods on the taskbar:

    https://preview.redd.it/8onig9gm1tz...bp&s=d9dc3c1f82f171ef861ff37696362343ed243f98

    I would like for the bottom 3 input methods to disappear, but in the language settings that's what I see.

    And if I click on options, it just shows the top 4 input methods, the ones that are actually supposed to be there:

    https://preview.redd.it/c6m6v6p42tz...bp&s=2e9e99959182b0eaca13a89da5ef373ca1734968

    Where on earth do I have to search to change the settings that are making the unwanted input methods show up?

    Adding a new input language must not add any keyboard layout

    Suppose you're on a system with a French AZERTY layout physical keyboard and you want to enter text in both French and English.

    You will add English to the list of input languages, but this will derive from this that you want the US QWERTY keyboard layout, which is plain wrong.

    When adding a new input language, the associated keyboard layout must be the one currently in use.

    Maybe, if there are multiple keyboard layouts installed, then that new input language could be associated with
    all those keyboard layouts.

    IOW, if the current setup is "input language X, keyboard layout Y", if I add input language Z then it must be associated with keyboard layout Y, not some default layout inferred from Z.

    The current links between input language and keyboard layout are just plain wrong:

    1. you switch input languages only because you need to type text in different languages, not because you're using a different physical keyboard (or remoting from a machine with a different physical keyboard.

    2. conversely, you change keyboard layouts because you have multiple physical keyboards, or because you're remoting into machine A that has physical keyboard X from machine B that has physical keyboard Y, not because you start entering text in a different
    language

    BTW, note that the new Windows 10 to switch among (input language, keyboard layout) combinations using Win+SPACE makes this unnecessarily cumbersome and/or confusing for people using N multiple input languages
    and P multiple keyboard layouts, because they have to select from a list of N*P entries.

    Do you concur?

    Please comment!

    P.S. I hope Microsoft will listen to Windows Insider Program and act! In any case, please upvote that feedback!

    1. Override the default input language with your preferred input language, even if there's only one language on the list
    2. Don't let websites access the language list
    To be sure that the correct settings will be used for all user accounts created later, copy the settings:
