The default hotkey for switching input languages is Alt+Shift and there's no UI feedback when you trigger it.
Depending on settings/version of Windows, the input method is actually tracked per-window so it's really easy to end up with weird/annoying behaviour.
If you haven't already I'd suggest disabling that hotkey. You may find the weirdness partially resolves itself.

Nah... the problem is, I would remove the French layout from my user configuration, but Windows would randomly decide to re-add (and use) it. If I go to the languages menu in Control Panel, French would not be listed there. I'd have to add French, and then remove it again. But a few hours later the same bug would hit me again and I'm outputting accented letters all over the place.

The "ENG" just means the user interface is in English, not the keyboard language, if you use a default height taskbar it will show, "ENG" with "US" below for the layout which you can change using multiple hotkeys one is Windows Key + Space another is alt + shift I think
It also likes to fuck with my keyboard layout settings: the PCs at work come with German, French and Italian layouts (guess the country!), and that's the default for the "system", which is the configuration Windows uses at the login/lock screen, but I just use German and added English. Very often, Windows would decide that my keypresses should now be interpreted as French instead of English, despite the language icon saying "ENG"...
