In addition to failed attempts to stop UK language from automatically being added, now (with latest windows update), i can't even remove it fro keyboard languages.

enter image description here

I hve nowhere chosen UK, neither in Windows installation or anywhere. Why Windows everytime add that UK to our languages, as we haven't chosen that. Even more, now I can't remove it ? o_O

You can't remove current display language. First, change Windows display language (see that option and gray-bluish drop-down list below).

The Windows display language drop-down list offers merely from installed languages.

Edit: the steps below seem to be only a temporary solution: UK layout still gets periodically restored...

For me on Windows 11 in 2024 year the issue was solved after removing English UK keyboard code (d0010409) from register, as documented here in Option 3:

https://www.elevenforum.com/t/add-or-remove-keyboard-layout-for-input-language-in-windows-11.4068/#Three

These values are in following 2 register folders:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Substitutes​

For me it was an item with Name d0010409 and value 00000809

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload​

Here I had to remove an item with name 1 and value d0010409. Most likely the name might differ for different OS installations.

To decipher these input/layout/language codes, you may try to use Get-WinUserLanguageList commandlet in powershell.

Then press ctrl+alt+del to logout and log in back.
