Anyone know a good FREE shareware app that can remove an audio track from a MKV video?

I've finally got my hands on the movie "Rogue One", but unfortunately, there are 2 audio tracks, one in English, and one that is not in English. I can set VLC to have to play the English audio track, but I'd prefer just to rip out the non-English track so I don't have to worry about it in case I use a different player. I've got WinFF, but this doesn't seem to be able to do the job. Any ideas?
Use ffmpeg. I keep trying to include the commands but codeproject says the message is flagged as spam, but you can easily find them.

I am using Handbrake (GNU GPL) since years with satisfaction. HandBrake: Open Source Video Transcoder[^]

I am spinning with a number of questions. Ill stick with this. What other video players would you want to use the mkv with? If a video player is able to open mkv, it would know that its just a container with multiple files in it, for each 1 video and 2 audio contents. So are you more wanting to convert to a different type? As to your direct question - virtualdub if not already mentioned.

I want to use the regular Windows 10 player - i.e., the one that automatically opens when a double click on the file, or VLC, but I don't want to have to do the setting to select the English audio track. As for the type, I am fine with MKV or AVI as those types show up as icons with the first frame in File Manager. AviDemux seems to always give the message that if I have a video in MKV format, I shouldn't convert it, so maybe it is superior? I know that I don't want FLV as that doesn't show up in File Manager.
