1803: Cannot change/remove input methods/languages?

Hello everyone,

I have 4 languages installed, but only want 2 of them as input methods (keyboard). In previous Windows 10 versions, there was a Language section in the Control Panel where input methods could be removed.

This section has been removed in 1803, and there's "Advanced Keyboard settings" in Settings, but I cannot find anything useful there:


(not sure what are those hidden settings)

If I go to Region & language, select a language then Options/Keyboard, the keyboard cannot be removed (greyed out):



I know I can remove the languages entirely but this will also remove the text-to-speech files, which I want to keep and use. If I type "input methods" on the start menu, a "Change input methods" entry appears, probably a remnant from the previous version. An error will appear when clicked: Windows cannot find 'Microsoft.Language'.

What an unnecessary mess...

I have the same problem:

Same problem for me

Find a solution here : keyboard layout - Windows 10 April 2018 Update added an extra Language and I cannot remove it - Super User

Finally found a solution using PowerShell.
You can view your language list with Get-WinUserLanguageList
$1 = New-WinUserLanguageList en-US
Set-WinUserLanguageList $1
en -US choose the language you want example for me nl-BE
now you can check again your new language list with Get-WinUserLanguageList Logoff, Reboot. After rebooting you can add another languages if needed.

After rebooting everything work fine

Thank you Novan, but I'm not sure what this is supposed to do. I tried "Set-WinUserLanguageList en-US" and it entirely removes all other languages. This is already possible. What we want is to only remove the keyboard languages, while keeping the other stuff like speech etc.

Thank you Novan. It works fine to keep only one language.

Can't figure that out.

Sorry...

I can confirm that the solution of Novan works (what were you thinking, Micro$oft? Need to use a powershell script to remove an input language!)
In PowerShell:

Code:

$1=New-WinUserLanguageList en-US
$1.Add("nl-NL")
Set-WinUserLanguageList $1

The above will set the input languages to en-US and nl-NL. Adjust for your needs as necessary.

Thanks for the clarification rustyx. I'll try it when (and if...) I get back to 1803, not earlier than late July. Hopefully, they'll have this fixed by then.
