    Can't screen record with snipping tool.

    When I try to screen record with the snipping tool, it loads for a couple of seconds and then denies me. Any suggestions?

    Greys out when trying snipping tool...

    Hi @Adela. To get rid of the language preference list or removing one of them there are two ways. Using the Region setting and Language setting. The Region setting is just for the keyboard setting if no language pack is installed.
    In the Language section there is no language showing to be able to be removed but if I add English US for the keyboard layout (Region) then I can remove the English US keyboard that removes it from the language preference list.

    The other method that works is to install the language pack of the one's you want to remove and then uninstall them. That's the long way around it but still works.
