Can’t remove unwanted “Greek-Latin” keyboard layout in Windows 11 Home

Hi,

In Windows 11 Home I accidentally added the “Greek-Latin” keyboard layout. Since then, I’ve tried several ways to remove it — without success.

In Settings → Time & Language, there is no “Greek-Latin” listed under either Language or Keyboard options.

In Settings → Accounts → Windows backup → Remember my preferences, the Language option is turned off.

In the Registry, I keep deleting all d0010408 entries — but “Greek-Latin” keeps coming back after restart.

AI tools suggest creating a registry script to force its removal, but that feels like overkill for something that should be simple.

Microsoft — is there a proper way to permanently erase this layout?
Any other ideas or verified solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Yannis

  • This is a notoriously frustrating and common issue in Windows 11, especially with the "Greek-Latin" layout. The fact that it keeps reappearing after registry edits points to a persistent background process or a corrupted language profile.
