Hello,

I can't figure out how to only keep a single keyboard layout, so that I'm no longer botheredwith the US layout I simply don't need.

Any idea?

Thank you.

Thanks, but still no go:
1. I ran the batch file (control intl.cpl,, /f:"%CD%\Remove_en-US.xml"), but the US keyboard layout is still there
To make it work, you need to put the XML file Remove_en-US.xml in the same folder as the batch file.

No change after copy/pasting into a batch file and running it:

Hello,

I can't figure out how to only keep a single keyboard layout, so that I'm no longer botheredwith the US layout I simply don't need.

Any idea?

Thank you.
Go to Settings > Time & language > Typing > Advanced keyboard settings and click on Language bar options. In the dialog that pops up, click on the Advanced Key Settings and look for "Hot keys and languages". Set the Key sequence for "Between input languages" to None by clicking Change key sequence and click OK. This may fix the pop-up you posted. At least, Win+Spacebar does nothing now.

The best way imho is to go to Settings > Time & language > Language & region and simply remove the language pack you don´t need. For example, i removed the English (United Kindom) language pack and then the English keyboard went away, so now i have only one Swedish keyboard in my OS and not Swedish plus English.

Thanks for the input. After running the batch script above, rebooting took care of business.

Thanks all.
