Hello,

I used this commands on powershell and it worked. It basically keeps the chosen keyboards, so others (qab-latn, qaa-latn, ...)  should disappear. 

First right-click on powershell and run as administrator, then type:

> Get-WinUserLanguageList

> Set-WinUserLanguageList en-US, fa

> Y

(You don't need to be careful about capitals. choose your needed keyboards, mine were English and Persian)

    It definitely work with PowerShell script Set-WinUserLanguageList en-US -Force.

    To do so,

    Enter ‘PowerShell’ in Windows 10’s search.

    ClickWindows PowerShellto open that utility.

    Then enter this command Set-WinUserLanguageList en-US -Force

    It will reset to default window Language then you can add again your desired Language and keyboard.

    Hi Vito

    Do you have software names KeyMan installed on your PC, if so, you should uninstall that from your PC . . .

    If you do not have that installed, what is your default keyboard language and do you also have other languages that you use on your PC - Go to Settings - Time and Language - Language, what language(s) are listed there?
