Remove Languages from Win10 Language Bar

I was testing some code and switching regional settings, suddenly I found that I had multiple entries in my Language Bar.  I went into the Language menu and deleted those that I didn't want and now my Language Bar is messed up and I can't seem to remove these entries.  They no longer appear in the Language menu, but were not properly removed from the Language Bar.



Since this occured, I can no longer switch languages using shortcut keys.  Only the mouse can switch my keyboard language which is less than ideal.

Can anyone offer any guidance as to how I can clean up this mess?

If you click on the language (Preferred languages), there maybe additiuonal keyboard layouts, there you can remove them

@Bembi, as shown in the screenshot, the additional languages do not appear in the Language menu, only the taskbar language bar.  Obviously MS' removal process is incomplete, one more bug to add to their list.

@McKnife, Thank you, I will give this a try.

@McKnife, the following worked!

$languageList = Get-WinUserLanguageList
$LanguageList.Remove(($LanguageList | Where-Object LanguageTag -like 'qab-Latn'))
Set-WinUserLanguageList $LanguageList

Open in new window


Thank you.
