Windows – Disable Windows 10 language popup

hotkeysinput-languageslanguagewindows 10

Is it possible to disable the popup list of input languages at the bottom right corner when having Alt+Shift pressed in Windows 10 version 1903?

I do not want to disable the Alt+Shift hotkey
(or Ctrl+Shift for that matter) or the ability to switch languages; I just want to switch off this popup that was introduced in build 1903.

I've tried turning off the language indicator.
The indicator turns off, the popup stays.

To add insult to injury, the popup often appears when I'm not even going to change the input language.
E.g., I'm editing text in a text editor, actively using Ctrl and Shift to select and move blocks of text, and the language popup keeps appearing.

Until we find a solution, I am trying to change language quickly (not press the buttons for too long).

If I am pressing Alt first, I am releashing it quickly after pressing Shift.

If I am pressing Shift first, it doesn't matter how long I keep the buttons pressed - the popup doesn't appear at all.

I hope this helps..!

I think Windows doesn't natively support changing these keys. Anyway, you can write an AutoIt script to listen for custom key bindings and programmatically send one of the predefined keyboard shortcuts to the system to change the keyboard layout.

;^ = Ctrl
;! = Alt
;# = WinKey (Meta)
;+ = Shift

HotKeySet("^{Space}", "change") ;Registers Control + Space

;Main loop
While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

;Changes Keyboard Layout
Func change()
    Send ("{ALTDOWN}") ;Hold down Alt
    Sleep(100) ;Wait 100 milliseconds
    Send("{LSHIFT}{ALTUP}") ;Press Left-Shift and release Alt
EndFunc

Just download and install AutoIt (use this link to download and install) and create a file with an .au3 extension. Copy and paste the code above and save it. You can place this file into your Startup folder if you want it to be opened when you login.
