Windows 10: Unwanted keyboard

I have a new laptop with Windows 10 installed. I live in Belgium but have set my region to the UK as I want English to be the main language of the laptop. I need an English keyboard (UK) and French (Belgian) and these are installed in my language options. However a third keyboard appears that I cannot delete 'English United States Belgian French keyboard'. I don't even know what this means from a linguistic point of view but most importantly, it doesn't appear in the list of language packs or language options so I can't delete it. I don't want 3 keyboard languages as I want to have a quick switch between EN and FR but I also don't want American English near my computer (i.e. making its way into spell checks) so I don't to delete the UK English language pack, leaving the American English.


How do I get rid of the intrusive keyboard that I didn't ask for?

Keyboard problem in Windows 10

Hi David,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to check if the issue persists when you connect another keyboard to your system.

If the issue is with the keyboard, then suggest you to update the keyboard drivers by following the steps below.

• 
  Press Windows key + X and select
  Device Manager from the list.
  
• 
  Expand ‘Keyboard’ from the list.
  
• 
  Right click on the driver and select ‘update driver software’ and follow the prompts.
  

Hope the information is helpful.

Unwanted Keyboard on startup since updating to version1709

• 1) Does the On-Screen Keyboard launch before or after logging in to your Microsoft account?
• When I turned on the computer, programs loaded as well as the unwanted keyboard
• 2) Have you checked your startup programs if the On-Screen Keyboard is listed?
• No idea what to look for but looked at startup programs in task manager- not seen.
• 3) Is your device in tablet mode upon startup?

No.

With all my fiddling, my computer mechanic deleting old files, the computer loads up - NO unwanted keyboard.

I am happy
