Can I disable the "Alt+Shift" shortcut to change language in windows 8.1 (or Windows 10)?
Good golly ... spent too much time on it, but found it eventually.
It's hidding in: Clock,Language, ande Region -> Language -> Advanced Settings -> Change language bar hot keys. (the last is in the "switching input methods").
Here's a website with screenshots .
Once done, you can change or disable it. (which made me realize i have another program that was trying (yet failing) to use those shortcuts :) ).
Windows 10

This comment reports solution works on Windows 2004 also.
- Press the Windows key, type
Advanced keyboard settings
and then press Enter
- Input language hot keys (left)
- Change Key Sequence... (for "Between input languages")
- Set to "Not Assigned"
I'm going to update the subtitle date when this gets an upvote so that we know it's still relevant.
(Thanks @bugybunny, @Bassie-c, and @skajfes for improvements.)
Under Windows 10, another lazier way to achieve the same goal is to run the following command line.
"C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe" Shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL input.dll,,{C07337D3-DB2C-4D0B-9A93-B722A6C106E2}{HOTKEYS}
