I can't change keyboard language by Win + space

I've got my new laptop for three months, it has worked perfectly fine changing keyboard language by Win + space. But starting from yesterday, I can no longer change it. When I press Win + space, nothing happens. I tried Alt + Shift and Ctrl + space as well, no response. I tried changing the setting of keyboard shortcut to Alt + Shift, no response. I tried turning on the language bar, it doesn't appear.  I tried getting Windows updates, the problem persists.  I tried getting driver updates from hp, the problem persists. 

What can I do? Is it a Windows problem or hp problem?

p.s this is windows 10 on a hp laptop

Hi,

This issue may arise when multiple language has been deleted accidently or when it is missing. We will assist you to resolve the issue.

  1. As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to check if multiple keyboard layout has been configured under Region and language settings.
  2. Type region and language on the search bar.
  3. Select Region and Language settings and check if you have installed multiple languages under a language pack.

This issue may also arise due to corruptions in Windows components and I suggest you to download and install any pending updates that needs to be installed on the computer through Windows update and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Type settings on the search bar, choose Update and Security and click Check for Updates.

or

Press Windows key + R

Type: ms-settings:windowsupdate

Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.

Hi,

I suggest you to turn off the sticky keys and check if that helps to resolve the issue.

  1. Click on Start menu and access Settings.

  2. Choose Ease of Access and the Keyboard.

  3. Turn off the Sticky keys, if it is turned on.

Also check if the issue persists in Safe mode.
