Windows – Alt + Shift to change language no longer working after upgrade to Windows 10

keyboard shortcutswindows 10

Just updated to Windows 10. The expected change language shortcut stopped working.

In the settings it shows that "Alt + Shift" is supposed to work, just like before the upgrade, but it does not. The tool tip window that is shown when I float over the language bar says that the shortcut is "Windows key + Space", which works, but I prefer "Alt + Shift" like it used to be.

How can I make it use "Alt + Shift" again?

Best Answer

Go to Control Panel\Clock, Language, and Region\Language\Advanced settings, in a section called Switching input methods click on Change language bar hotkeys, continue with Advanced key settings tab, then click on button Change Key Sequence... and then choose from a list called Switch Keyboard Layout your desired LEFT ALT + SHIFT hotkey.
