Windows 10: Third keyboard layout appeared, cannot get rid of it.

After the recent update to 1909 or 1903, the usual US+HU layouts I use were replaced by ENG/US+ENG/HU+HUN. Both on my desktop and notebook.


The system settings do not reflect it, there are just the two old layouts. I tried deleting, re-adding them, every time I am presented with the selection of three layouts next to the clock. Interestingly, alt+shift only switches between ENG/US and HUN, or between ENG/HU and HUN. Sometimes it flips to the latter until I manually select ENG/US by the mouse, then it's back to the former for a while.

Extra keyboard layouts have appeared that I can't get rid of

Recently, perhaps since the update to Windows 10 Creator edition, I have two additional keyboard layouts which I do not want, but I can't get rid of. Before this I had just two languages and layouts -- UK English with (from a third party) the US International
AltGr Dead Keys layout, and Belgian French with the Canadian multilingual layout. Now I also have UK English with a UK keyboard and US English with the basic US keyboard. This makes it very difficult to switch between layouts since I don't know which version
of English I have switched to.

However when I go into the region and language settings, only the original two layouts are listed. The other two are missing, which means that I can't get rid of them. What do I need to do?

Language list appears when there is only one keyboard layout used in a user account

There’re two user accounts on my computer running on Windows 10. In my account, the interface language is English (United Kingdom) and the keyboard layout is United States–International; in the other account, English (United Kingdom) is also the interface
language, but the keyboard layout is US.

Since a particular update which took place a few months ago, a language list appears on the far-right of the task bar in my account, and it allows me to switch between United States–International and US. However, if I go to that area for language settings
on the control panel, only United States–International is shown. In order to get rid of the language list, I need to manually add US as a second keyboard layout and remove it afterwards. Even so, the language list always re-appears whenever I restart my computer.
Is there a way to permanently get rid of that language list? Before that particular update I’ve mentioned, there was no language list when there was only one keyboard layout used in a user account.

 

English (United States) keyboard layout keeps appearing

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that English (United States) keyboard layout keeps appearing automatically. I’ll certainly help you with the steps to remove it.



I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned below and see if you are able to remove the language pack:

1. Type command prompt in the search bar on the
   Taskbar.
   
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and select
   Run as administrator.
   
3. Now, paste the following command and hit Enter:
   lpksetup /u en-US.
   
4. Restart the computer.
   

Let us know the results.
