I'm French Canadian and because of this I have two keyboard languages. French Canadian and English (Canada).

Before, when I'd press FN to change my keyboard language, I used to see "French Canada" and "English Canada". Now I just see "Canada" and "Canada - CSA".

This is a weird change.

Windows 10 screwed this up aswell. Up until then I had Czech and English keyboards I could switch between with Alt+Shift. Then win 10 installation came, and suddenly I had (something similar to) Czech, "English-CZ" and English. Ofcourse Alt+Shift now changed between Czech and English-CZ, and there was supposed to be new shortcut to change between English and the rest.

Of course, I cant just delete the languages I dont want to, that would be too easy (and all google guides "helpfully" said: just delete the extra language, bro).

So after some refistry magic I was able to bend the system agaist its will to work as it always did, but of course it changed back several times since then on its own.

How does one manage to fuck up something as simple as "remember those two languages I use and switch between them when I press this" is beyond me. At this point im more inclined to believe in purposeful malice than such brutal incomptence
