Solved Language Bar on the Logon Screen

Hi forum,

Does anybody have this problem? I didn't have Language Bar on LS (Logon Screen) in 21H2. After installing 22H2, it appears on LS! I also have disabled the language indicator in the tray.

Hi, I have same problem, can't find fix for it yet, please let me know if you find solution for it ,Thanks

I have had this headache since the update 22H2! I would mark this as solved whenever I find a solution (which would be shared here).

Thanks for your reply, hope someone can find answer soon, driving me nuts, Bill

Hi, got up this morning and Language bar on Logon screen gone, is it the same for you, thanks Bill

Sorry it's back again!

Does this work?

Hi Garlin, cannot find HKEY you mentioned in regedit, maybe no such key in Windows 11 Pro, thanks' for trying, Bill

If you don't have one, you create it.

For Pro editions, you can open Group Policy Editor:
Computers > System > Locale Services > Disallow copying of user input methods to the system account for sign-in -> Enabled

That's temporary. LB (Language Bar) would be back again, just wait for seconds on the login screen!

Doesn't work. LB is there (after reboot):

Did you turn off that other stuff?...

If I have it turned off, another rubbish Language indicator appears beside the tray icons! We have to enable it first, then hide the LB there!!

Uninstall any unnecessary language packs!

I have installed one extra keyboard. No extra Language pack is installed (I like Windows UI with its original UI Language, in my language, it would be a mess!). I have to have that one (my native language Keyboard)

Hi, Garlin's group policy setting worked for me, left on sign in for a couple of minutes, didn't come back, also rebooted numerous times still ok, will let you know if it returns, thanks Bill

How simple and how ridiculous! I never thought of it!



No need to change GPEdit setting:

The GPO manages the "ENG" on the bottom right. Which is separate from the Language bar.

Thanks' atinfo has I said in my previous post, the Garlin's GPO fix worked for me, on 2 laptops, Glad you found another fix, Thanks Bill

Hi, again just reset GPO settings back to default, Language bar came back, I turned it off, as atinfo said, it closed but came back at next login, so went back to GPO fix, Bill

I don't know how many keyboards/languages you have added (I don't want to know). I have one UI language (Windows UI=English/US) plus one extra keyboard (my native language, it's a "MUST" for me). Mine is working good by RC->Close the language bar option. As @garlin said, it (GPEdit setting) has nothing to do with the "Language bar" it's about the "Language button". The GPEdit didn't work for me, either for Bar or Button.
