Windows 10: Windows 10 forgets language switching key combiantion - when it gets fixed?

There is thread about it from 2018.

I personally reported this bug through Insider Hub many times during beta testing. And after many years the bug is still there with very lame workaround.

But now the problem is that after upgrading to build 2004 even the proposed workaround with copying settings doesn't help anymore.

Once station is locked up, keyboard shortcuts are lost completely or partially, it's somewhat random.

Microsoft!!! Wake up!!! How long you gonna ignore users and contributors?

Windows 10 forgets language switching key combiantion

Hello Jozsef,

Thank you for providing me a detailed information of your concern. Upon researching the said issue, it seems that Windows 10 has separate language settings for the Lock Screen. Due to this, whenever you're about to use your computer again from sleep, hibernation,
screensaver/lock screen; it switches back to the default settings. I'd suggest applying the steps below and check if this helps resolve your issue with Language hotkey/key sequence:

1. Apply/configure your desired hotkey/key sequence.

2. Launch Control Panel, then select Clock, Language, and Region.

3. Select Region, go to Administrative tab. Click on
Copy settings button.

4. Under Welcome screen and new user accounts settings window, make sure to check the boxes for:

• Welcome screen and system account
• New user accounts

5. Click OK to save changes.

Looking forward to your response.

Regards.

It's just a reopening of Windows 10 forgets language switching key combiantion

Nothing to add.

It's 1st of September 2019, and it still doesn't work.

I understand that it's hard to believe but in this world there are a couple of people who knows more than two language. And cycling between them using win+space is a terrible user experience.

There is a VERY ANNOYING problem in Windows 10. It's resetting by itself the language switching keyboard combination.

Seriously, people at Microsoft... It is so hard to save the content of a dialog and keep it FOREVER?

Here is how to reproduce the problem:

1. Go to language preferences

2. Click "Advanced keyboard settings"

3. Click "Language bar options"

4. Select the "Advanced key settings" tab.

5. Click "Change Key Sequence"

6. Set Ctrl+Shift+1 for the 1st language, Ctrl+Shift+2 for the 2nd language, Ctrl+Shift+3 for the 3rd language.

The outcomes, not predictable, chaotic:

- If I click "Apply", the key sequence may reset. Sometimes. Sometimes mean by random, I can't find the cause of the behavior.

- Keep setting over and over again the key sequence. After closing the dialog, the key sequence DOES NOT WORK. I have no ideas why does not work. So I'm logging out and back in, SOMETIMES the keys sequences are working.

- After setting the key sequence 1000 times and logging out and back in 1000 times, the key sequences work, but after some time (between 15 and 30 minutes), the keys sequences STOP WORKING.

I have 3 computers, all of them has the same behavior. I tried to use online/offline accounts in the hope that something gets wrong with the account sync.

Windows 10 here, Feature update version 1803 (2).

Windows 10 here, Version 1809 OS Build 17763.678

Can Microsoft offer a separate software that will run in the background and will set the keyboard language switching key sequence every 1 minute? Because the designed way DOES NOT WORK.

Please people at Microsoft, do a test, people are trying to work with computers, not constantly seek for support, reset settings, reinstall software, etc.
