To find out what option combination is set by default for you, try to consistently push all of the mentioned combinations.
3. If for some reason hotkeys don't work and the language is not changing, you can use the language panel of the main menu of the operating system. To do this, look on the top menu bar in the lower right corner of the screen where displays the clock and icons for programs. There should be a small box with Latin letters “RU” (Russian) or “EN”(English) .

To restore the display of languages, hover over the top menu bar (it usually looks like a narrow gray bar at the bottom of the screen) and press the right mouse button. The context menu opens, the top line which is the string "Toolbar". Hover over it and you will see another drop-down menu. Find the line "Language bar" and check the box next to it.
