Answer 1

Hello Edward! My name is Abdullah, and I will assist you today.

I am sorry to know that you are experiencing this issue. The most common reason for this issue happening on your computer is because your Windows license only supports 1 language. Please keep your private information such as email address, phone number, and other things secure when you are sharing a screenshot. Please follow the steps below:

1. Open PowerShell with administrator privilege.
2. Type Install-Language and hit enter.
3. Type zh-CN and hit enter.
4. Wait for it to install.

Once installed, if you want the Chinese language to be the preferred language, please follow the steps below:

1. Type Set-SystemPreferredUILanguage and hit enter.
2. Type zh-CN and hit enter.

Thank you.

Best,

Abdullah

Hi Edward,

Thank you for the reply.

Yes, it is normal to take some minutes (depending on the internet connection speed). Great to know that the download was finished. Please type in the below command to check if the language pack is installed:

Get-InstalledLanguage

Thank you.
