Hi,

I've bought an Acer Predator in Germany but I want to have the os (W11) in English. I tried what was people in other forum posts suggested meaning:

  • add English (US) as a new language, download all the dependencies
  • set English (US) as the main language
  • remove the German language off the system
  • in administrative options I changed the system locale to English (US) {tried both with and without that unicode utf-8 selected)
  • copied current settings to 'Welcome screen and system accounts'
  • performed a system update (it was a bunch of smaller updates {including cumulative updates I think})
  • Restarted the system How can it be that my OS language is still mostly German? Any suggestions how I can go about it? Thank you in advance Settings 1_13_2024 10_48_35 AM Region 1_13_2024 10_49_53 AM Screenshot 2024-01-13 105308

    Run these commands to view the current installation: (make sure that there is no Windows single language version)

    administrative command prompt:
    Lpksetup /u dism /online /get-intl

    administrative powershell:
    Get-WinUserLanguageList

    Well I don't know when or how, as I haven't changed anything ever since that attempt, but now the OS is fully in English. Odd enough haha. Thanks to everyone who tried to help :-)
