How to remove 'Unknown Locale (qaa-Latn)' from fresh Windows Server installation?
I just installed Windows Server 2016 in a development virtual machine and strangely there is an 'Unknown Locale (qaa-Latn)' listed in my language / input list (in the task bar) and it doesn't show up anywhere in the 'Clock, Language and Region' and > Language areas of the control panel nor in the newer Windows Settings dialog.
I have no idea how it got there and how I would remove it as it isn't listed anywhere explicitly.
Is there any way to remove this locale?
Update with more Details: This is/was a bare bones, fresh installation (using the Feb 2018 MSDN imnge of Windows Server 2016.. and I also tried re-installing it, again.. as new installation based on the RTM version of Server 2016 standard) without any 3rd party software. The only 'special' part is that it's running as a Hyper-V virtual machine (with Windows 10 Enterprise N being the host OS).

You have a legacy Keyman keyboard installed. The simplest solution would be to uninstall Keyman and any keyboards you have installed.
The codes qaa-qtz are reserved for local use. They appear in the list at present because they are assigned to legacy custom languages (e.g. fr-ca instead of fr-fr) or non-languages such as IPA. Thanks for pointing them out; they’ll be corrected with an update to the keyboards repository.

I am taking a wild educated guess you have Keyman installed. The combination of the fact the keyboard is qaa-Latin and is an unknown locale, indicates you have Keyman installed.

Jun 24 '18 at 10:53
I had no idea what Keyman is/was and had to look it up first - but no, as mentioned this is a fresh Windows Server 2016 installation and it never saw any 3rd party software including Keyman. Thanks for your answer, but unfortunately that's not it.
