  1. i should know those steps by memory by now, with each damned windows update i come back to this video to follow the steps again. and from now i will smack a comment every time im in here to show appreciation.

  2. Thank you. After a Win11 update, there was suddenly an english keyboard in the toolbar, but it wasn't in the settings, so there was no way to remove it. Adjusting this script to da-DK and running it, helped me get rid of that annoying extra language, which by the way would randomly switch between that and the default Danish i was normally using.
    Amazing how a billion dollar company can fuck up that bad.

  3. It's great. But what if I need to delete ONLY US English language that don't even visible in Settings -> Time & Language -> Language & Region.
    I tried to delete it via console, and it worked for a little, but then it's just keep appearing in system's keyboard layouts list. Why is it happening?

  4. I have 3 language.
    1) UK look like default window install but problem is cant type @
    2) US is I would like to use
    3) TH is my born language

    So, I do all step from your video, when I'm restart and add Thai language, the UK always comback as well.
    How to do it by not reinstal window11 ?

  5. Worked πŸ’―

    PowerShell commands (Run as administrator):

    1⃣ $1 = New-WinUserLanguageList en-US

    2⃣ Set-WinUserLanguageList $1

  6. There is actually an easier way. Without the need to edit the registry. GOTO Settings, GOTO Time&Language, GOTO Language&Region, GOTO Additional parameters and press 'Administrative Language Parameters' and there you synchronize it to your chosen windows language. The reason behind the language coming back is actually tied to your windows installation. Somehow microsoft didn't link it to the new interface

  7. After following the 2 steps, I still have the Spanish keyboard input. I have the Windows set to English by default, but there is no way to remove the Spanish input keyboard. Any solution for this?

  8. if you have two engligh inputs and no option to delete, set the language to the one you want to delete and keyboard as well, then switch back to the original language, the one u want to remove will appear, just uninstall
