Windows 10: Remove Language from Input options

Hello, I wonder how to insert title here on W10. When I was setting up my system on new laptop I wasn't sure what keyboard to add for programming us or gb variant of english that I was used to, so I added both in addition to my mothers tongue.When going to Settings > Time and Language > Language, I have removed every trace of GB variant from keyboard and windows display but when alt+shift-ing, option to switch to GB keyboard still persists. Only place I found BG keyboard option to still be there is in "Language Bar Option" but there, you can just assign shortcuts to specific layouts

:)

Issues with input language.

Hello,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

In order to get more clarity on this issue and to assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps reply with the answers to the below questions:

1. What is the complete error message that you are receiving?

2. Are you able to input using the English language in Cortana and Settings?

3. What happens when you try to change the input language to Chinese?

4. Is this issue specific to Cortana, Settings and account login page?

Let us try few troubleshooting method to resolve this issue.

Method 1: If you are facing issues with using Chinese as your input language in Cortana and Settings, I suggest you to remove and re-add the language pack and check if that helps.

To remove the language pack:

1. Tap on Windows + I on the keyboard and tap on
Enter.

2. Click on the Time & Language option.

3. Click on the Language option.

4. Click on Chinese language pack and select the
Remove option.

Refer the following article on Manage your input and
display language settings in Windows 10 for steps to re-add the language pack.

To switch between the input languages, tap on
Windows + Space button on the keyboard and check if you are able to change the switch and use the Chinese language to input.

Method 2: If the issue persists, I suggest you to align the speech settings with the pervious input language settings.

1. Go to Start and open
Settings.

2. Select
Time & language > Language.

3. Select the language you want to add speech to, and then select the
Options button.

4. Under
Speech, select Download. It may take a minute or two for the speech pack to load.

5. Sign out and then sign back in for the new speech pack to be added to speech options.

6. Go back to
Settings > Time & language
> Language, select your new language, and then use the up-arrow button to move it to the top of the list and make it the default.

7. Go to
Speech, and make sure the Speech language setting is aligned with the previous settings.


8. Sign out and then sign back in for the new settings to take effect.

Refer the article on Cortana's regions and languages
for more information.
