I've been getting an issue for a long time on windows 10 now, I've found numerous threads with the same issue but no resolution. However my issue now is slightly different, but I think I know what may be causing it.
Firstly, at times my language bar will bug out. I have US English and Greek keyboards installed but very frequently it will be stuck on English. Using the keyboard shortcut or clicking it manually does nothing to change the language. Usually I just remove and re-add the Greek keyboard and all is well... except when I start typing in English, I actually have the UK layout instead of the US layout. To solve this I must add the UK keyboard (because it is not installed at all) and then remove it to take it off of the language bar. I don't know if this is because my display language is UK English... (for those wondering, I'm just used to the US layout, mainly because of the location of various special characters that are useful in software development!)
This doesn't happen all the time, though it is very frequent. Recently though, I noticed that it may be because of other users on the machine. My other half uses UK keyboard layout, and I think when she uses it and I use it after, her language settings persist, even though the UI shows different. Also, when I change the volume the bar is displayed in her colour scheme (but the start menu and everything else is with my theme). Very often the user switch will occur because one user puts the machine to sleep and then the other logs in, so maybe because the lock/sign out process hasn't been done? Just to note, I think she gets the same issue with the keyboard layouts...
So my question is - is it possible that other users' settings are being preserved when switching users and, as part of that, interfering with my language settings? And how to resolve this? Maybe signing out correctly will work and I will be trying that but all the same it should work regardless.
