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)

    Use  PowerShell (administrator) script:

    Set-WinUserLanguageList en-US -Force

    This will simply reset the language list to one default language (en-US):
