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)

    Thank you very much for this help!
    Im reposting it:

    1. In "Search" type: PowerShell
    2. In the opening window paste the following and press Enter

    In the Admin PowerShell, type:

    $LanguageList = Get-WinUserLanguageList
$LanguageList.Add("qaa-latn")
Set-WinUserLanguageList $LanguageList -Force
    1. Go to Settings > Language and remove the QAA-LATN from there
