Windows 10 and different languages/keyboards suck

I switch my input language between English and Spanish. Sometimes it switches on me without me wanting it to. It is caused by an accidental combination of key-strokes. I'm fine with Windows -> spacebar.

Below is how to fix the accidentals:
  1. Go to Settings -> Typing
  2. Then click Advanced keyboard settings

  3. Language bar options
  4. Advanced Key Settings
  5. Finally, turn off those awful other keystroke options
Finding those options is not easy to do. Really, really bad UX Microsoft.
