Automatically adding unnecessary layout when opening a Notepad

Recently, after some system updates, when launching certain programs (e.g., Microsoft Notepad), a third keyboard layout (Ukrainian) is automatically added and does not disappear after closing the program. My system interface is Ukrainian. I also installed two language packs (Ukrainian and Polish). I have two keyboard layouts installed (Polish programming and Ukrainian extended), which are the default layouts in these language packs.

Adding a regular truncated Ukrainian layout to this makes no sense. It's just annoying. To remove this additional layout, you need to go to the language pack settings, install it and remove it again, or restart your PC. This is not an effective solution, because this layout reappears again when you open Notepad.User's image

    @Артем КорніяшAt the moment you can't download fixed Notepad version, but it's already released to insiders in Release Previre channel so you can assume it will be almost ready to be released to public versions as well.

    Microsoft may release optional preview of next Cumulative Update later this month and next Cumulative Update will be releaed Patch Tuesday 11th of November. Let's hope at least then we get fixed Notepad to eliminate that unnoing bug.
