How to remove Unknown Locale (qq-Latn) keyboard

Question

Hi guys,

I have a terminal server Windows Server 2019, Version 1809, OS Build 17763.1457
I don't know where it comes from but one users (interestingly not all of them) have Unknown Locale (qaa-Latn) keyboard.
I checked the Language settings and the system shows

However, one user has both English (Australia) and Unknown Locale (qaa-Latn) keyboards.
I tried the PowerShell solution below but didn't help.

$LanguageList = Get-WinUserLanguageList
$LanguageList.Add("qaa-latn")
Set-WinUserLanguageList $LanguageList -Force
Then go to Settings (Win+I) / Language settings, and just remove QAA-LATN from there.

I tried another PowerShell solution below but it didn't help either.

$LanguageList = Get-WinUserLanguageList
$Language = $LanguageList | where LanguageTag -eq "qaa-Latn"
$LanguageList.Remove($Language)
Set-WinUserLanguageList $LanguageList -Force

Interestingly, if I connect to the affected user's server profile from another machine I can see

This also doesn't make any sense as in Language settings English (United States) is absent.

However, faced and managed to resolve this issue please let em know how to remove this Unknown Local (qa-Latn) keyboard.

Hi,

You could try the following methods:
Right-click on powershell and run as administrator, then type:

Get-WinUserLanguageList
Set-WinUserLanguageList en-US, fa
Y

(en-US, fa>choose your needed keyboards)

It basically keeps the chosen keyboards, so others should disappear.
Hope above information can help you.
