Once you’ve set UK as the default you can remove US.

Not only problem since updates, clicking refresh over and over again in EDGE does not always refresh page.

These updates are all a load of crap anyway, unless you want to speak to your PC, copy stuff to lots of different devices etc. No use for me , I'm a dinosaur.

And stuff your hard drive full of krap you don't need/want.

I have disabled the updates and haven't installed the latest bug pack, but what happens when you completely remove the US, does it come back?

This is probably it. I have a Swiss keyboard layout. Works fine.

At least it's not in Chinese.

Control panel/region/language preferences allows you to move UK to top above US. Maybe that sets the default, will see when I next start.

Some important characters like @ and " keep swapping around. Windows key + space fixes it by changing back to UK English but then US English layout comes back when I next start up.
