How do I remove "English (United Kingdom)"?
I'm very sorry SamirGunic but I have no more ideas.
Such setting must be hidden somewhere but not in the usual places.
Clean install or live with this annoyance.
Sadly, impossible. I did exactly what you said. I checked the two boxes, clicked OK, restarted, and made a new user called "Blabla" and made him administrator without password (danger zone).
After signing in with Blabla, I get a bit different language configuration than I had previously when I made a new user account. But I still got the "English (United Kingdom)".

It worked for me (to add and remove language)! Thanks so much! 🙂 (Though i didn't reinstall windows)
P.S.: (actually before i tried this solution, i tried previous ones that didn't work for me - removed from registery all the UN and English_UK etc...)
luongvm183 THANK YOU SO MUCH! This was the most easiest fix compared to everything else and it worked perfectly. I'm on windows 11 and had the same problem. Just add the exact same language and then the same keyboard layout inside that language. Then remove the above keyboard layout so it perfectly matches the one you want to get rid of. As soon as I checked, the languages/keyboard layouts "merged" together and I was left with a single one, which I then promptly deleted!
Thanks again! Hopefully this helps more people 🙂
- Sorry for ressurecting this, but I just reinstall my windows 11 and got hit with a default "English (UnitedKingdom)" keyboard. I was able to resolve this by adding the exact language and the exact keyboard layout and then remove the keyboard layout. You might have to add another keyboard layout to the list just so you can remove the target keyboard layout. I also did copy the language setting to my welcome screen and new user screen. Hope that help somebody.
Thank you SamirGunic
You could have stumbled upon a bug, so my advice is to submit a feedback to developers. Press Win+F.
Let us know if you will find a working solution.
- Thanks for helping out Spigolo! You had some interesting ideas. Especially the last idea was very interesting, to see how oddly Windows behaves when you changes those settings. I might pick up where we left off at a later time. But for now, I will give this a rest and live with it. If I had not reinstalled most of my apps already, I would create a new user profile and move over and use that profile instead. But for now at least, I am stuck with this one. Thanks again!
