Me and my brother share a computer. About a year ago my brother started learning different languages and consequently my account also added them. This was never an issue and if the French or Kanji keyboard was enabled, I would turn it off by pressing Alt + Shift and the language would revert back to the default ENGLISH - US and everything would be fine and functional.Recently, my brother has decided he no longer wants to pursue learning either language and has since removed them both.

• Tap or click Time and language, and then tap or click Region and language.
• Tap or click a language that says Language pack available underneath, and then tap or click Options.
• Tap or click Download. The download process might take a while, depending on your PC and the size of the language pack.
  If you want to make this your display language, see the next section "Change your Windows display language".

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.
