How to Remove Input Language Keyboard in Windows 11
You remove an input language keyboard in Windows 11 by accessing your language settings and deleting the unwanted keyboard layout. Windows 11 allows you to install multiple keyboard layouts to type in different languages.
This process is essential when you have extra layouts cluttering your input options, potentially causing accidental switches. For instance, having both ‘US QWERTY’ and ‘US Dvorak’ layouts can lead to typing errors if you aren’t careful.
After removing an unnecessary keyboard layout, it will no longer appear in your taskbar’s language list. You’ll avoid the frustration of accidentally switching to it using shortcuts like Windows Key + Space, ensuring a smoother typing experience.
Open Settings, then Time & Language, and select Language & region. Click the three dots next to the language, choose Language options, and then select Remove under the Keyboards section. Use the Registry Editor for stubborn layouts.
How do I change my keyboard keys back to normal in 🪟 Windows 11?
In the Language window, under Preferred languages, select the current Windows display language and then select the Options button. In the Language Options: window, under Keyboards, verify that the desired keyboard layout isn't already installed. If it's not, then select Add a keyboard.
