Why does windows think I have Arabic keyboard?
This seems to be affecting on the "properties" option. My computer is in Finnish and I have no connections with anything Arabic.

Go to Settings > Time & Language > Language & region. If you see any Arabic language pack installed, remove it immediately. Make sure the regional settings are set to your current region, shouldn't be configured to any Arabic zone.

Did you add the Arabic in settings in the past? Never had such an issue on my Windows 11 computer.

They skipped translating that one, not important, it is just a keyboard shortcut.
You can't expect Microsoft proof-reading their translations. - Tiger00dsIron Contributor
I guess it's a bug since I've seen it too on one PC with Finnish language.

Sometimes, during Windows updates or while installing new software, additional keyboard layouts can be added automatically or accidentally. Arabic might have been included without you noticing.
