  1. 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).

  3. Unable to remove a Language for the keyboard or the hotkey

    Hi,



    Windows has the capability to use different language packages to fit the needs of the customer. Not being able to remove a language pack could be due to data files that got corrupted. To resolve your concern, kindly answer the questions below:



    • When did the issue start to occur?
    • Were there any changes made or updates installed prior to the issue occurring?
    • Which version and build of Windows 10 is installed on your device?


    Also, you can follow the steps below to disable the hotkey in switching in between different languages installed on your device:



    • Click "Clock, Language, and Region" from the control panel.
    • Click "Language"
    • Click "Advanced settings" in the left column. ...
    • Under "Switching input methods", click "Change language bar hot keys"
    • Select "Between input languages" and click "Change Key Sequence"
    • Disable/change the keyboard shortcut as you'd like.


    We look forward to your response to our queries.
