I have 2 keyboards (input languages): English and Russian.

After every update requiring a restart, 2 Latvian input methods show up. So I have in total 4: EN, RU, 2 x LV.

If I go to settings, it only shows 2: EN and RU. So I can't remove LV from here.

What I tried:

  1. If I manually add LV and remove it, I'm left with 3 layouts: EN, RU, LV. screenshot
  2. The first time it happened, this question helped. But now the DWORD is set, and keyboards still appear and stay after restarts.
  3. Tried changing Country / Display settings / Defualts & Overrides

The questions:

  • How do I remove the second LV keyboard?
  • How do I prevent them from re-appearing?

OS: Windows 10 Pro, version 1607. Primary display language: EN.

  • What version of Windows 10 do you have installed? Professional or Home? What language pack is primary (English or Russian)? – Ramhound Oct 06 '16 at 13:26
  • @Ramhound Professional. Primary language is English. – Alex V. Oct 06 '16 at 13:29

  • Turns out, it is. See my own answer here. This solved it: http://superuser.com/a/485171/197934 – Alex V. Oct 06 '16 at 13:37
  • I believe you can accept it as a duplicate. *Proper procedure is to flag and close as duplicate, if an existing question exist, with an answer that answers your question instead of creating a duplicate question with a link to that duplicate answer.* – Ramhound Oct 06 '16 at 13:39

This answer helped: https://superuser.com/a/485171/197934.

  1. Delete everything but EN and RU keyboard layouts from HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Preload.
  2. Restart

This removes keyboards and prevents them from re-appearing.
