settings that pertain to multiple-language setups. One of them lets

you turn on the “desktop language bar,” a system tray icon that’s a
drop-down menu of all the languages you’ve installed and lets you

switch among them sans difficulté.

Pen & Windows Ink

These options let you fine-tune Windows’ handwriting-recognition and
stylus features, as described on “Windows Ink Workspace”.
