- Click on the “Regional and Language” window that pops up.
- Find the "Keyboard Language" tab and click "Change Keyboard".
- In the new window “Languages and text input services”.
Advice! If after all the settings Language bar does not appear on your screen, then check how many languages are active on your computer. The action algorithm will be useless if only one language is active.
You can check the number of active languages as follows:
- Go through two points of the above algorithm again;
- Find the General tab.
Inexplicably, but true, users noted that it is the language bar with the Russian language that disappears most often.
Why this happens and whether it is true is unknown.
But you can conduct the experiment yourself if you install the English or any other language layout.
Restoring the Task Scheduler on Windows 7

- On the MsCtfMonitor command, you need to right-click twice so that the “Enable” line appears and then click on it.
Advice! Note the status of the MsCtfMonitor command. If the line already said “Enabled,” then the reason the language bar is missing is something else.
Please note that not every computer has the MsCtfMonitor service installed. Without it, it is unlikely that it will be possible to return the control panel to its place.
You can create this program yourself using the following algorithm:
- Download the MsCtfMonitor.zip program for free and unpack it;
- Open the downloaded file;
