Removing unwanted keyboard layout

JaJe · 01 Dec 2019

Hello guys,
Windows 10 is making me a hard life sometimes, recently without any setting change I see the keyboard layour near the clock (ENG) or (ROU US) but I did not want any of extra layouts and I don't know why Microsoft like to f*** with people nerves so much.

The problem is the following, see screenshot:

As you see on settings I can't see the other layouts and I cannot remove the current one. I have installed long time ago a personalized keyboard layout which allow me to use special characters by a combination of keys like
ALT + Q = â ; ALT + SHIFT + Q = Â
ALT + S = ş ; ALT + SHIFT + S = Ş
and so on...

I prefer this one rather than replacing the [ ] ; ' : " keys with those special characters.

How can I fix this? I don't see any other options on control panel and Its annoying me seeing an extra info near the clock and the worst is when it automatically switch to another keyboard layout.

Thank you in advance.

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.476]

Thank you HeM for your reply,
I wouldn't post this problem If that link solved my issue. I know where do I have to check for layouts and even google search show me the link you posted and that won't help me.

If you see the screenshot, I have 3 layouts on my clock, but on settings only 1 but unable to remove. I want to keep one, the one with "ENG" which is a personalized layout.

@JaJe,
I think, you have to read above tutorial more carefully...

Clicking on option I only have this:

Only my personalized layout here, but still present on taskbar the other two...

I do not know what happens but I think, you use a third party(?) keyboard, isn't it?
Anyway, perhaps a tenforums' user or 'guru' can help you.

I thought it was a General support of Windows 10, since I am using this third party keyboard for many years without any issue and did not receive any update that may alter some function I can only blame Windows for this sudden change.
Thank you
