Windows 10: how to stop the keyboard to defaulting to English canada

So I want to use either English US or French Canada only.. But the stupid system keeps defaulting to English Canada even though it`s not even in the preferred Languages.


It`s getting super frustrating.

Cannot download English (Canada) speech package in Windows 10

A fix was released as part of KB3081424, Cumulative Update for Windows 10: August 5, 2015, for a problem Cortana was experiencing when installing language packs. Please make sure you've installed the latest Windows Updates before trying these steps.

1. Press Windows + I keys on the keyboard to open settings menu
   
2. Click on Time and language and select region and language.
   
3. Under Language option, check which language is Set as default.
   
4. If you find different language, you can change it by clicking on Add a language option.
   
5. Select your preferred language (English Canada) and click on Set as default under English UK language.
   
6. Now, click on English Canada and click on Options.
   
7. Download the language, handwriting and speech packs.
   
8. Now, click on Speech from the Time and language settings menu.
   
9. Check if you are able to select the speech settings to English Canada.
   
10. After performing above steps, check if you are able to use Cortana.
    

 

English Canada Text Suggestions Fails to Download

I have English US and English Canada keyboards installed. English US has text suggestions working perfectly. But Canada has no text suggestions when I swap over to it. Also that article refers to windows phone 8, not 10. My display language and region
format are both Canadian English. It appears as though I can't download any keyboard text suggestions, and all I have available is English US suggestions.
