Good day! My goal is to add a keyboard for new users in the domain using logon PowerShell script. Here is the PowerShell code:
$LanguageList = Get-WinUserLanguageList
$LanguageList.Add("ru-RU")
Set-WinUserLanguageList $LanguageList -Force
Keyboard added successfully, however i cannot click to the language bar. I can only change language using key combination. Interesting that after clicking to the language bar, the taskbar and some windows UI is stuck except explorer until i click to the desktop or to explorer.
After this the error in the event viewer appears: "Activation for Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy!App failed. Error code: Class not registered. Activation phase: No phase defined"
I also tried to add the keyboard by adding a record in registry "Keyboard Layaout\Preload". But in case if i add a custom keyboard layout, the above behavior appears too. And i like above method because the keyboard also appears in settings, not only in language bar.
If i delete keyboard added from above logon script and add it again through interface, everything works fine.
Above code works fine if run it directly in PowerShell for logged on user.
Do you have any idea about overcoming this?
Thank you in advance.

Found the solution here in the last post:
Error with Windows Shell Experience and Cortana
After running following script, the task bar works as usual for all users in the machine. It needs to be ran every time after the domain user is deleted.
taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe
taskkill /F /IM ShellExperienceHost.exe
taskkill /F /IM StartMenuExperiencehost.exe
taskkill /F /IM SearchUI.exe
taskkill /F /IM RunTimeBroker.exe
