Windows 10: Unwanted language (En-US) automatically adds to task bar keyboard options

I'm currently using Windows 10, and have 3 languages English-NZ, Korean, and Chinese as preferred languages, with En-NZ as the default.

However, English-US automatically adds to keyboard selection almost every time I restart my laptop/MS surface. It doesn't appear in the settings, so I have tried installing then uninstalling English-US language pack, and that did successfully remove the language, but when I restarted my PC, it appeared again.

I have tried changing Microsoft office preferred languages, where En-US was one of the languages registered, and that seemed to help for a while, but En-US has reappeared now.

The extra keyboard layout keep adding to my language bar (with Pics)

Hi Panupong,

The updated Windows 10 may have detected your language, the reason why it automatically gave you the other Thai US keyboard. To correct this issue, we suggest that you follow these steps:

• Click on the Start Menu, type in region and language settings and select it.
• Under Languages, select Thai Kedmanee keyboard and click Remove.
• Lastly, add it back by clicking Add a language.

After these steps, your keyboard layout will permanently stay with Thai Kedmanee keyboard.

Let us know if the steps above resolved your issue.

 

App automatically add keyboard/language to windows

I'm having trouble with this app called Unikey (it let you type in Vietnamese Unicode, basically). Upon installing the app automatically add Vietnamese keyboard layout to windows, this has caused me quite a bit trouble since I need to switch between US and
Taiwan keyboard frequently, another language to the list of language bar slow down my workflow quite a lots.

So my question is "Is there anyway to prevent an app from adding keyboard to windows?" Maybe restrict them from adding registry that involves Windows's language keyboard stuffs..
