    Unable to remove languages win 10


    I have a windows 10 enterprise laptop, on which 2 English languages are installed (en-US and en-UK). I want to remove one of them because of annoyance of switching languages (have a third language installed . But there no options on the language settings to remove either. Only en-UK is shown as language but the remove button is disabled . I believe en-US is the display language and en-UK is the default app language. I tried numerous tips and tricks also using powershell but none have worked.

    Any ideas would be highly appreciated, thank you.

    :)

    Unable to remove languages from Region & Language on windows 10

    I am unable to remove languages from windows.

    I have the following list of 4 languages installed

    Unable to remove languages win 10 ONyMo.png


    I want to keep only English (United States) and Hebrew

    The other 2 languages I want to remove but the "Remove" option is disbaled.

    Things I tried:
    The internet is full of suggestions like:
    editing: Computer\HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Preload
    which had no effect

    There are suggestions to try using the control panel to edit the languages but the control panel simply links back to the Settings app

    There are suggestions to set some language as a default. but the default option simply does not exist

    There are suggestion to use the options and remove the keyboard from the installed language. Each language has a single keyboard installed and the option to remove there keyboards is disabled as well.

    This is very frustrating and any help would be appreciated.

    Unable to remove a 'default' language/keyboard layout


    Dear dalchina,
    thank you for the reply, but I am probably missing something.
    As you can see from the attached picture, language settings DOES NOT list the keyboard layout I want to remove (ENG INTL). So, how can I remove a layout that is not listed in the Language settings?

    Unable to remove the language.

    Hi Roger,

    From the issue description, I understand that you want to remove the French language (please correct me if I am wring).

    If you have set French as the primary language, you won’t have the option “remove language” unless you have set another language as primary language. Please follow the below steps to set another language as primary language.


    • Press windows key+I .

    • Tap or click Time and language, and then tap or click
      Region and language.

    • Tap or click the language that you want to see Windows in, and then tap or click
      Set as primary. The Will be display language after next sign-in message will appear under the language.

    • Tap or click Set as primary to move the language to the top of the list. If the language can become your Windows display language, you'll see
      Will be display language after next sign-in appear under the language.

    • Sign out of Windows, and then sign back in.

    Keep us updated if you are able to remove the language.
