How to remove extra Keyboard from Windows 10 – Language list

To fix this issue, delete the Preload registry folder and restart (or sign out) the computer:

<code>HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Preload</code>

This folder seems to be some legacy remnant that contains non-user-specified keyboard layouts to be added to the list of languages when the user signs in. While the fix itself works through restarts, there’s a few things that seem to bring back this folder

To automate the procedure create a txt file and paste the contents below.

[code]
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Preload]
[/code]

You can then save the file with .reg extension and run it if registry folder comes back.  You need to logout or restart for changes to take effect.

Tip: From notepad use quotes like to “RemoveLang.reg” to save with new file extension.
