Hello, I have a problem with my win10 copy.

I had to do a factory reset and after that new language appeared: AFR (Afrikaans)

This language is not listed in the language settings, but can be selected by win+space shortcut

After few attempts I found out that the language was maybe added by Microsoft Office and I tried to remove it from it.

Yes, Language dissapeared from office but it is still available in selection.

Do anyone know how to get rid of it ? 

EDIT: I found solution, look down below.

    Nice !

    I found out solution which did it.

    I do not say that it will help to everyone but you can try.

    Firstly, if you have Microsoft Office, delete the language from it. 

    • Open Word or Excel
    • Go to Settings -> Language
    • Find language you want to delete and do it.

    Secondly, you have to install the language on your machine (do not ask me why)

    • Go to Windows settings (press win button and click on settings button)
    • Select Time and Language -.> Language
    • Click down below to button with "+ add language"
    • Find the Language (AFR for me) and install it -> wait for installation done
    • After successfully installed, simply select it and click on "remove".
    • If the language dissapeared you are done

    I hope it will help others, I wish a great day to all of you.
