Windows makes it relatively easy to install multiple languages for display and input. When you install a new language pack in Windows, it also tries to install each applicable keyboard configuration, if available. If, like me, you frequently switch between languages for keyboard input, activating the Input Panel or Language Bar allows you to switch between languages with a single click. Let me show you how to show or hide the language bar and input indicator in Windows 10.
Methods for removing the language bar from the Windows 10 desktop:
Through the Settings App
- Right-click an empty location on the taskbar and click or press the last selection labeled Settings in the menu that opens.
- This action brings the taskbar settings page to the screen and moves it to the right edge, where you will see several sliders, some menus and links. Specify the title of the system tray and click on the “Enable or disable system icons” link in that tray.
- In the interface that follows, follow an option called “Input Display”, and when you see it, move its cursor to the “Off” position.
