Windows 10: Unable to disable duplicated keyboard for the same language

The first image is the options shown in the language list,

it is seen that there are two "ENG US keyboard" available,

which I found annoying because I need to click the key-combo (ALT + SHIFT) twice when I want to switch language.


Second image is from windows 10 setting "Region & Language".

Third image is from clicking "Options" after select the language in the list.


The reason that I cannot remove "English (US)" in "Preferred languages" is that the windows app will show chinese if I do so.


It was once available to be removed but "Language" tile in Control Panel is removed (in last few updates I guess).
