    Installing simplified Chinese language pack breaks the language bar


    Hello,


    I have a laptop with Windows 10 Home Build 18363. It has Canadian English and US English in it, everything working fine but when I install the Simplified Chinese language pack, the language bar and input method break. They stop showing in the taskbar and the key shortcuts to change languages don't work either. I have tried every solution suggested in forums and nothing worked. I have restored windows to before I installed the language pack several times and every time I install it again the same thing happens.

    Is there a solution or work around for this issue? I really need both English and Chinese on the computer to work.

    Thanks.

    Carlos

    :)

    Chinese Simplified Language Pack failed to install

    I encountered the exactly same problem as
    new-inst-e2k7     did since I reinstalled my Windows (Windows 10 pro, version 10586.122 originally, and version 10586.164 after some updates now) on Mar. 8. I failed to install Chinese Simplified language pack many times yesterday
    and today. I succeeded after rename the directory SoftwareDistribution
    under C:\Windows to SoftwareDistribution.old, just as the above method says. By the way, both the Chinese (Simplified, China) and Chinese (Simplified, Singapore) language pack options under Time & Language > Region & Language
    > Add a language > Chinese (Simplified) are not available for selecting, while those in Chinese (Traditional) are.

    Hope this will be of help with new-inst-e2k7.
