Windows 10: When I press alt+shift right it does not switch between languages

When I press alt+shift right it does not switch between languages

:)

 

Changing languages with right-alt + shift stopped working

Windows 10 home.

Used to be, you could use both left-alt and right-alt + shift to switch between languages.

Then, some years back, only left-alt + shift switched between languages, whereas right-alt + shift went always to secondary language. That was a pain, but not a show stopper.

This is!

After latest Windows Update, right-alt + shift is dead.

I opened Control Panel > Clock, Language and Region > Language > Advanced setting > Switching input methods > Change language bar hot keys > Change Key Sequence

the only options there are:

1. Not Assigned

2. Ctrl + shift

3. Left Alt + shift

4. Grave Accent (`)

Right-alt + shift is gone!!!

How do I get it back?

I've been doing the same thing to switch languages since Windows 3.0, I think. It's massively frustrating to do it instinctively only for it to not work all of a sudden... Seriously annoying. How can I fix it?

Problems with Switching Language with Shift+Alt

In Settings i have confirmed many times that Shift+Alt is for switch between keyboards for other languages.

and I have confirmed many times as well that extra keyboards are added.

But from time to time the switch won't work.

Instead it shows sth else and the keyboard remains the same, when you long press Shift+Alt, and then release Shift.

ps: I intalled another input app. But before i upgraded to win11, i could siwtch keyboads for other languages with Shift+Control.
