Good day.


I just noticed today that there are keyboard layouts that I did not install/setup. I've been going in circles with the Windows 10 settings and the Keyboard Layouts I want to remove are nowhere to be found. How can I remove these unwanted Keyboard Layouts?


Here are the Keyboard Layouts I want to remove:

1. EN English (India) --> see Screenshot #1

2. OL Other Language --> see Screenshot #1

3. ENG English India --> see Screenshot #2

4. QAA Unknown Locale (qaa-Latn) --> see Screenshot #2


I took screenshots of all the settings and areas I can find related to Language and Keyboard Layout (screenshots #3 and the rest).

As you can see from the screenshots of the settings, I only have three (3) Keyboard Layouts.

1. EN English (Philippines) -- Philippines Unicode Keyboard Layout (with ₱eso sign and other important Unicode characters not available in the obsolete ASCII-based US Keyboard Layouts)

2. FP Filipino (Philippines) -- Baybatin-Tagalog Unicode Keyboard Layout

3. HE Hebrew (Israel) -- Phoenician/Paleo-Hebrew Unicode Keyboard Layout


Yet, Windows 10 is showing other keyboard layouts that I can find where and how to remove. It's not in the traditional Control Panel > Uninstall Programs nor in Microsoft Store.


I want these unwanted Keyboard Layouts removed because it is messing up the keyboard layout cycle when I am typing.


Last but definitely not the least, how do you remove that Windows 10 taskbar "three-letter" language code? The original Language Bar (two-letter language code) is far better in detecting and displaying Keyboard Layouts (as can be seen in the screenshots above).



Thank you very much.
