Random Language Keeps Adding Itself to My Language Bar

Question

Hi,

I have a weird problem where Afrikaans keeps showing up at my language bar. It does not appear in my language preferences and so the only way to make it disappear is to install it and then uninstall it, which will make it go away for like 24 hours or so until it reappears.

I do not need this language neither do I use similar keyboard and to be honest this is getting super frustrating. I looked on Microsoft support and the only solution offered is to install and uninstall but it's getting exhausting to do it on a daily basis. Is there any other solution?

Thanks!

Answer 4

Hey,

Thanks for the reply. I have the exact same problem.

The solution doesn't help...

I'm unable to remove the only language shows (I'm guessing that's because otherwise Windows won't be able to display any language, and that's spooky...).
