I've done some searching and this seems to be a common problem. It is not included under settings in my list of languages and keyboards, but when I installed another language it magically appeared. I never used Afrikaans or any app that uses Afrikaans. This is a new laptop. I have English and Chinese Simplified keyboards installed.

Here is an article that contains a correct solution. Other people edit registry keys and do other unnecessary unsafe system changes. This works much better.

Press Start then search Powershell Right Click then Run as administrator Paste the command below then hit Enter: $UserLanguage = New-WinUserLanguageList en-US After that, Paste the command below then hit Enter: Set-WinUserLanguageList $UserLanguage

(Answer from John DeV)

I found that restarting the machine is unnecessary.

In the $UserLanguage = New-WinUserLanguageList en-US portion, one can supply the languages in comma-separated format

eg, $UserLanguage = New-WinUserLanguageList en-US,es-MX
