After I downloaded windows updates for Windows 8 Pro, the language bar is gone.

[AWS]

I just downloaded and installed the automatic windows updates tonight and after I restarted my computer, the language bar that is normally visible on the start screen and the desktop is gone. I know how to switch between languages using left alt + shift

but that is not practical and is only necessary now because after updating the option to switch was removed. This is the second time this has happened after downloading the automatic windows updates and is very frustrating. I use two languages on my computer

and it seems that updating windows is causing problems with this feature. I cannot see the language bar on the main screen with all my tiles under options where I go to log out or shut off the computer nor on the main desktop. It is, however, there when I

log onto my computer and must give my user password, there I see the option to switch but that is the only location. It was there before the update and now it is gone and no matter what I do I cannot seem to restore this feature. On my computer are the language

packages for English and German and the main components of my computer are in German. I tried searching for an answer to this problem but cannot find it anywhere. Please help!
