How do I remove automatically added keyboard layouts?
I have a Spanish keyboard on my notebook, but I use it mostly for English and Chinese writing.
This is how I configured the languages:
However, Windows added some layouts on its own (probably when connecting via Remote Desktop to computers with different languages/layouts):
Those layouts are all part of the AltShift cycle, which is extremely annoying.
How can I remove ENG/US and ESP, considering they don't show in the configuration list?
Is there a way to prevent them from being added again?
Solution 1:
I was able to remove the unwanted layouts by creating an IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout
DWORD in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
and setting it to 1

Solution 2:
Add the offending languages under language in control panel, then delete them and they will be gone from the notification area.
