Set shortcuts to change keyboard layout in Windows 10?
Is there any way to set keyboard shortcuts to quickly change to a different language/keyboard layout? The old shortcuts still seem to work (when set back in Windows 7), but I can't seem to find anything to change it in Windows 10.

Go to Control Panel → Clock, Language, and Region → Change input methods (under Language) → Advanced settings → Change language bar hot keys.

I keep hitting one of these default shortcuts without realising it and before I know it I'm typing random nonsense all over 🙄 Is it possible to change the WinKey + Space shortcut somewhere as well?

This seems to have changed in some recent update to Windows 10. The interface is rather different, but this answer still helped me fix the situation. The update apparently cleared all the settings I had made before (in Windows 7 before upgrade to Windows 10)! In addition, the previous default was that the change worked on a per-window basis; now you need to check the checkbox for allowing different application windows to use different keyboard layouts.

The menu in the accepted answer does not exist in Control Panel anymore on Windows 10 version 1803 (not sure about 1709 and older).
But the same setting is accessible from Modern Settings app → Time & Language → Region and Language → Advanced keyboard settings (from the Related settings section) → Language bar options → Advanced Key Settings tab.
Update: Windows 10 version 1809 moved this setting again. see i3v's answer.

Just wanted to add to accepted answer. I am using Apple keyboard on Windows 10 here and the best way for me to switch input language is to turn off shortcut "Between input languages" completely and instead set individual shortcuts for each input language, for example:
- Left Alt + Shift + 1(US Keyboard)
- Left Alt + Shift + 2(UK Keyboard)
- Left Alt + Shift + 3(Any other input language)
- Left Alt + Shift + ...
- Left Alt + Shift + 0(10th input language)
I find this setting the only one that doesn't disturb my work all the time as occasionally pressing Alt + Shift changes language when it is not needed. Also if to remove all shortcuts from the settings then holding WIN(CMD on apple keyboard) followed by [space](press multiple times to iterate the list) or [1,2,3..] or [Select with mouse] works well too.

Unfortunately this has changed in the latest Windows 10 update. You now need to go to 'Languages' and then 'Advanced settings' in Control panel, and choose 'Change language bar hot keys':
Which will then bring up this dialogue from which you can change the hot key by clicking 'Change Key Sequence...'

In the current Windows, i can't even easily get to the plain old Control Panel, and when i do, there is no more a 'Language' item.

In Windows 10 version 1809, the setting described in the accepted answer is here:
Settings -> Time & Language -> Language -> Spelling, typing, & keyboard settings -> Advanced keyboard settings -> Language bar options -> Advanced Key Settings.
Step-by-step screenshots.
Known issues
These hotkeys are quite buggy since 2012 or so.
They may disappear (the setting is cleared or simply not working) after a windows update, after an RDP session, after logout/login, or even without any obvious reason.
There's one well-known workaround, that usually helps:
Settings -> Time & Language -> Language -> Administrative language settings -> Copy settings... -> tick both checkboxes -> OK.
If you ran into this, you may want to upvote some of these items on the FeedbackHub:
As a regular (non-insider) user:
Input language hotkeys keep being reset every time Windows starts
language bar hot keys are not reliable: a) sometimes they disappear ...
Language bar hotkeys get erased after every RDP session
Language bar hot key setting keeps resetting back to default I'm using 3 languages input
When I set up language bar 'hot key' shortcuts to switch to keyboards with other alphabets, they are deleted whenever Windows restarts!
As insider:
- Keyboard layout switching shortcuts disappear and do not work
- Hot keys for input languages getting erased on each windows feature update
Keyboard layout changes randomly- Windows keeps switching the language and keyboard input methods

For Windows 10 version 1803
I found the option in this location, they had moved it from the control panel to settings.
- Open up "Settings" by searching for it in the windows menu.
- Go to "Region & language" on the left hand side and click "Advanced keyboard setting" on the right hand side.
- Here you can find the "Language bar option"
- Change the hotkey by pressing "Change Key Sequence"

@arkod - Please read the question again carefully. Your answer does not answer the original question. "I still want to find a way to at least remove the current shortcuts set up" Notice your suggestion, was suggested, over a year ago and the author indicated it didn't answer this question.

On my system switching layouts does not work correctly using language switching. The question is asking for switching layouts, not languages.

The menu in the accepted answer does not exist in Control Panel anymore on Windows 10 version 1803 (not sure about 1709 and older).
But the same setting is accessible from Modern Settings app → Time & Language → Region and Language → Advanced keyboard settings (from the Related settings section) → Language bar options → Advanced Key Settings tab.
Update: Windows 10 version 1809 moved this setting again. see i3v's answer.

Just wanted to add to accepted answer. I am using Apple keyboard on Windows 10 here and the best way for me to switch input language is to turn off shortcut "Between input languages" completely and instead set individual shortcuts for each input language, for example:
- Left Alt + Shift + 1(US Keyboard)
- Left Alt + Shift + 2(UK Keyboard)
- Left Alt + Shift + 3(Any other input language)
- Left Alt + Shift + ...
- Left Alt + Shift + 0(10th input language)
I find this setting the only one that doesn't disturb my work all the time as occasionally pressing Alt + Shift changes language when it is not needed. Also if to remove all shortcuts from the settings then holding WIN(CMD on apple keyboard) followed by [space](press multiple times to iterate the list) or [1,2,3..] or [Select with mouse] works well too.

Unfortunately this has changed in the latest Windows 10 update. You now need to go to 'Languages' and then 'Advanced settings' in Control panel, and choose 'Change language bar hot keys':
Which will then bring up this dialogue from which you can change the hot key by clicking 'Change Key Sequence...'

In Windows 10 version 1809, the setting described in the accepted answer is here:
Settings -> Time & Language -> Language -> Spelling, typing, & keyboard settings -> Advanced keyboard settings -> Language bar options -> Advanced Key Settings.
Step-by-step screenshots.
Known issues
These hotkeys are quite buggy since 2012 or so.
They may disappear (the setting is cleared or simply not working) after a windows update, after an RDP session, after logout/login, or even without any obvious reason.
There's one well-known workaround, that usually helps:
Settings -> Time & Language -> Language -> Administrative language settings -> Copy settings... -> tick both checkboxes -> OK.
If you ran into this, you may want to upvote some of these items on the FeedbackHub:
As a regular (non-insider) user:
Input language hotkeys keep being reset every time Windows starts
language bar hot keys are not reliable: a) sometimes they disappear ...
Language bar hotkeys get erased after every RDP session
Language bar hot key setting keeps resetting back to default I'm using 3 languages input
When I set up language bar 'hot key' shortcuts to switch to keyboards with other alphabets, they are deleted whenever Windows restarts!
As insider:
- Keyboard layout switching shortcuts disappear and do not work
- Hot keys for input languages getting erased on each windows feature update
Keyboard layout changes randomly- Windows keeps switching the language and keyboard input methods

For Windows 10 version 1803
I found the option in this location, they had moved it from the control panel to settings.
- Open up "Settings" by searching for it in the windows menu.
- Go to "Region & language" on the left hand side and click "Advanced keyboard setting" on the right hand side.
- Here you can find the "Language bar option"
- Change the hotkey by pressing "Change Key Sequence"
