This error indicates an issue with mismatched display language and keyboard layout, where your system’s display language isn’t the same as your physical keyboard. Problems with the keyboard layout could arise due to various reasons. The most common reasons include conflicting software and keyboard driver issues, which can also cause this problem. Having discussed the causes, let us now move on to the potential solutions.
1. Remove Unnecessary Layouts
By removing unwanted layouts, you reduce the number of options displayed in your language selection menu. This allows you to switch between the languages you actively use. Instead of navigating through a long list of layouts, you can access your preferred languages easily.
2. Turn Off the Automatic Keyboard Layout
Disabling this option in Windows 11 especially targets how your system manages the keyboard layout. This option is responsible for Windows 11 automatically adding keyboard layouts based on your content or location settings.
3. Remove The Language From Word
Windows 11 manages system-wide keyboard layouts; some languages installed in Microsoft Office applications can also add keyboard layouts. These layouts might be used for spell-checking grammar and grammar suggestions specific to these languages.
4. Run the Keyboard Troubleshooter.
Windows has built-in troubleshooters designed to help identify and fix common issues. It can identify common keyboard malfunctions like incorrect driver settings, stuck keys, or registry errors. By following these steps, you have regained control over your keyboard layouts in Windows 11 and Microsoft Office programs.
