Windows in French but notepad in English

Question

Hi,
I used MDT from a long time.
I build my windows 10 image with an english iso, I add the french langage pack in the CustomSettings.ini and in my task sequence I add packages in the preinstall step, like Microsoft-Windows-Notepad-FoD-Package fr-FR amd64 10.0.19041.1
And using this system image to deploy a new computer works fine.
I get my windows in french and my notepad in french too.

But If I used the same process to build my Windows 11 system image and deploy a new computer with it, I get my windows in frech but my notepad is in English
Calcultor, Paint, Tips, too !

No Internet access during system image building as learned.
Poor Internet access for my new computer.

Thank you for your help.

Ludovic.

Hi,

Thanks for posting in Microsoft MECM Q&A forum.

A similar issue for your reference. You could try to use OSDBuilder to inject the LP's and language FOD's into the VLSC media, and then capture it via MDT.

Hope it helps. Thanks for your time.

Best regards,
