Windows 11 language switch hot keys don't always work or work slowly.

Microsoft has messed up language switching hot keys since Windows 10, when hotkeys Ctrl+digit to switch to specific language stopped working. Now I'm trying to just use alt+shift to switch languages...

Same issue here. I thought something happened to my keyboard around the time I switched to Win11. None of the solutions posted here work reliably for me. It is clearly a bug in Windows 11.

    I join! And the strange is that it doesn't always happen, but when it happend I fell myself a bit angry

     

    upd: my last try i went to input settings and disable all type-assistant + in additional settings I disabled option which could let each windows choose it's own input type and for now the problem is gone

      strelok372 to me it does not change 20-30% of times when I press ctrl+shift. I see that it changes the language in the taskbar and then immediately switch back. I tried to disable all assistants and everyting you mentioned, but it didn't help in my case. 

      I used an online keyboard event viewer and found the sequence which leads to the language bar to fail the layout switch:

       

       

      I hope someone from Microsoft Windows team can look into it and check the code.

        Don't you use alt+shift to change lang?
