Many affected users are turning to Reddit to urge Microsoft for a solution, or at the very least, the option to disable the System Tray icon altogether.
This issue is not a new one; it appears to impact a wide range of users around the world. As some have pointed out, even after successfully deleting unwanted language packs, they tend to reappear despite efforts to remove them.

- Hit Enter
- (Optional) Restart your computer
We would love to hear if this resolves the issue for you!
This issue has been bothering me for a long time. The keyboard layout switcher appears even though ENG US isn’t listed as installed in Settings. While there are methods to manually get rid of it, it inevitably reappears. Older Windows versions allowed us to disable the icon in the system tray, yet this option seems to have vanished in Windows 11.
