    Ultimate Windows Tweaker v. 4.8 - disappearing language bar


    I ran UWT, made a restore point, changed a bunch of settings, and restarted my PC to find the language bar and ability to switch between languages, keyboard layouts, and input methods has gone. I'm stuck in some weird custom layout I made a few months ago, can't type numbers, and can't type Chinese.

    I made a thorough search of all of UWT's settings, including those relating to the taskbar and notification tray, but found no mention of the language bar.

    Any ideas on how to bring it back? Cheers for your advice.

    Apologies to anyone reading this - I'd been using Windows 7 for so long, and consulting this site so often, that the thought did not occur to me that here was quite the wrong place to post a query concerning a problem in Windows 10, which I've been using only for a short while.

    I'd like to delete this thread, but I can't see the 'edit' button. Apologies also for that.

    No worries! I have used UWT over the years on my Windows 7. I think you have the one designed for W10, correct? I replied in this thread so that I can learn of the solution alongside you - just in case something goes wrong in my W7.

    Yup, it's the W10 version. After realising my mistake in posting a W10 question on a W7 forum, I re-posed the question on tenforums, here:

    When you get your answer over there, post it over here too, very likely, Windows 7 and Windows 10 solution will be the same or very similar.
