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)

    • Go to Settings > Time and Language > Language
    • Click Add a language.
    • Type qaa-Latn
    • Add the language.
    • Wait a bit.
    • Then remove it.

    Thank you, FN!

    Try going to the time and language place, then press on each language on options and there might be there a second option, mine had Greek-Latin. From there just press on the one you don't need and tap remove.
