How to turn off the Language bar

I just did a repair install of Windows 7, and now eveyrtime UAC comes up, the Language bar appear on top.

And at the log on screen there is a square at top left that says EN


How to i get rid of these?

When you right click the Taskbar for the context menu and select Toolbars, is the language bar listed? If so, disable it.

Click"Start", then "Control Panel"
2. Hit "Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options", then "Regional and Language Options"
3. Press "Languages" tab, then "Details" button
4. Choose "Langage Bar" button at bottom, and then uncheck "Show the language bar on the desktop"
5. Press "OK" and the Language Bar will be gone
Note: You can always just recheck to enable it again

If you really want it gone so you can't ever see it again:

1. Go to "Start", then "Run"
2. Type "Regsvr32.exe /u msutb.dll" and press enter
3. The Language bar will never bother you again

Note: The "Language Bar" button described above will be grayed-out (unaccessible) for good as well, meaning you can never renable it

None of tho two opition work it still appears when UAC gives me a promt and the log on screen

Try what was said above, but do it when UAC pops up.

I figured it out. You need to go to Region and Language in control panel and remove all but the keyboard you want. See when I installed this last time I set my location as Canada which is correct but then it gives me 3 keyboards. So i immediately thought ok I will just remove the other keyboard but they were still on the welcome screen. So the next critical step is to go to the administrative tab and copy settings over to new users and welcome screen.

Glad you found it

Thank you it worked

Thank you removing unwanted keys works

After a reinstall, I found out that this thread needs a bump, badly. Also, a place in the tutorial would be nice. Brink?

Language Bar appears whenever you run a program

Hey guy's, I found a solution to a problem I was having with the language bar "appearing" whenever I ran (any) program after the following. I enjoy some older game programs, so I installed Quake 2 base game on a Windows 7 64 bit system. The ability to install and get this running on this type of newer operating system, you have to go into control panel/region and language/formats and administrative. Changing the settings to "English UK language". Apply, then restart your system and you can install and play this title. The only drawback is this. You have to go back in after the install and change your language back to English or "your" native language. You must do the following, to rid yourself of this headache. Go back into the previous settings, "Region and Language", then select the "Keyboards and Languages" tab and (Delete) the extra Keyboard settings that are obviously there. Leaving your "native" keyboard language settings "only".

What I would do would be to open Region and Language in the Control Panel.

Then I would open the Keyboard and Languages Tab and press Change Keyboards.

The Text Services and Input Languages Window opens on which I would press Language Bar Tab and then choose and OK the "Hidden" Radio Button.

That is all.

I started getting this issue and did not used to get it, when UAC pops up I have the prompt, selecting hide language bar on the right click menu does nothing.

To me it looks like a bug as all of the below apply.

Language bar set to hide.
Only one keyboard layout installed

This started happening my guess is since my last windows update in june.
