How to restore the missing language bar.
Many Windows 7 users are faced with an unpleasant glitch that causes the disappearance of the language bar from the taskbar, and the standard tools of the system fail to restore the layout indicator. In this case, a minor intervention into the registry can help.
First, you need to run the "Registry Editor": in the search bar of the "Start" menu enter "regedit.exe" and press "Enter".
In the editor window that opens, you need to find the branch:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
And check for the string parameter "CTFMon", the meaning of which is specified - "C:\Windows\system32\ctfmon.exe".
If this parameter is not present, it must be created: by right-clicking on the branch "Run" (folder) open the context menu, select: New → String Value, specify the name "CTFMon" given above, then by double-clicking the parameter open a window of input value, type - "C:\Windows\system32\ctfmon.exe", click OK and restart your computer.
