window 10 'invisible' language
After installing windows 10, my main input language became "UK English Keyboard" instead of "US English Keyboard".
I Added the selected keyboard and removed the undesired one.
After rebooting my PC, the UK Keyboard made an invisible comeback, so i can't see it in my language list, but it can be used when switching languages with alt+shift.
I want to remove this extra language from my input methods, so when i press alt+shift i will have only the US Keyboard. i don't need the same language twice, and i don't want the UK keyboard which gives me irregular chars (for example " instead of @). Because this keyboard is not my editable list, i can't remove it so my question is how i remove a 'nonexistent' language.

I had the same problem with another language and almost tore all of my hair out trying many different suggested solutions until I finally found the solution that worked for me.
The problem (for me) was that the user interface design of the Windows 10 PC Settings is really bad in this case.
First, in the PC Settings Region and Language, click "English (United States)", even though you don't want to remove the "English (United States)" keyboard layout. (This is where the bad interface design is – why would you look there for "United Kingdom" if it says "United States"?)
Then click Options. I can only send you a Danish screenshot to illustrate, as my Windows is in Danish, but it can likely be understood anyway:
Now you will see that there is in fact a United Kingdom layout there under "Keyboards" (again, my screenshot differs, but the point is the same; actual screenshots from an English Windows are welcome as replacements).
Click the keyboard you don't want, in this case likely "United Kingdom", and then click Remove.
That's it. No need to restart or anything. The unwanted layout is gone.
Of course I can't say if this will help you, but it sure did help me.
And sorry for the messy answer with screenshots in Danish. I hope it can be understood anyway. It would likely take me 45 minutes more to switch the interface language of Windows to English, add the exact same keyboard layouts as you had, take the screenshots, and then change everything back again afterwards, and then I likely wouldn't have written this at all. Please forgive me. 🙂

To quote him from an edit he is trying to put through "Well, lets make it clear. I want to remove this extra language from my input methods, so when i press alt+shift i will have only the US Keyboard. i don't need the same language twice, and i don't want the UK keyboard which gives me irregular chars (for example " instead of @).
