Note that the keyboard cannot be removed from the GUI - it does not show up. In the region and keyboard settings I mean, it shows up as configured keyboard though. What worked for me - and that was the only thing that worked - was to follow the registry-editing answer here (only the top part of the answer, not the update): https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-start/cant-remove-a-keyboard-layout-in-windows-10/058acf33-16d9-47f4-a24b-245b8823d90e https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10... I had to look through the entire registry for the key mentioned there though, I had to delete about 4 or 5 before the hidden US keyboard finally disappeared. Note that that thread is from 2015. Maybe US based Microsoft would find the issue more urgent if it was a different keyboard than a US one, so that they themselves notice it (I guess right now they would not?).
