Activating language bar hot keys in Windows 10 bug

Hello Kosta,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

From the description provided, I understand that Windows is unable to accept keyboard shortcuts for switching input languages, otherwise the functionality of language bar is working fine.

Before we proceed, let us know if you are using business version, i.e, Enterprise of Windows 10, by any chance.

As an initial recommendation, I suggest you to check for the latest updates in Windows 10 which helps the PC to make optimal use of Windows 10 capabilities as well as fixing any missing links in performance of the operating system. 

To check for updates now, go to Settings > Update & security > Windows Update, and select Check for updates. If Windows Update says that your PC is up to date, you have all the updates that are currently available.

If it still does not help, follow the below methods and check if it helps.

Method 1:

This issue may happen due to system file corruption. I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow the below given steps: 

• Press Windows key + X, select Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.

• In Command prompt type sfc/scannow and press enter.

• Restart the computer.

Ref: Using System File Checker in Windows 10

Method 2:

If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state or were irrecoverable, then I suggest you to try the following steps to deploy the DISM command lines: 

• Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.

• In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:

                         Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
                         Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
                         Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

• Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.

Let us know the results for us to be able to assist you further.

Thank You.

Problem is partly fixed. The bag is still there but now only for Skype for business and  Skype. Before I installed Microsoft Office 365 there was no problem, everything was functional  (Word, Outlook, Skype ...).

Massage that I have from “Command prompt admin”:

Method 1:

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

Method 2:

a) No component store corruption detected.

The operation completed successfully.

b) No component store corruption detected.

The operation completed successfully.

c) The restore operation completed successfully.

Hello Kosta,

Thank you for keeping us posted and we appreciate the time and effort you have put in to resolve the issue with us. Let me assist you further.

Now, if the issue still persists, I suggest you to check if the same issue occur when logged in through a different user account. 

Follow the steps:

1. Assuming that you are already logged on to your user account in Windows 10, click the Start button.
2. From the Start menu, click your name from the top of the left pane.
3. From the displayed options click Sign out.
4. From the login screen, click to the different user account you want to switch to.

However, if you do not have a separate user account, I suggest you to create another administrator user account by referring to the Microsoft article here: Set up accounts.

Please write to us with the updated status of the issue.

Thank you.

We try that. I have log on Skype with another user but nothing. Only interesting, maybe coincident but for first two time of using language bar hot No keys nothing happens. After that bug was there for every next time. We try with different user on different PC on different places (two city) and nothing. Bug is still there ...

I suggest you to perform a Repair Upgrade to reinstall Windows 10 over the existing installation of Windows 10 to check if it helps with the issues you are experiencing.
