Windows 10: Aliased Folder Name in Another Language Desktop, Documents, etc.

Hi I just bought a machine with win11 on it and I think how the OS handles aliased folders differently than win10.I set up the machine fresh today, and I selected every language choice "English US" but since I have a Microsoft account registered back in China Chinese as the default language now every folder gets aliased *by default* to Chinese.For example, every app that tries to open a file on Desktop will find "" in the path.From past experience, it's a question of "when" rather than "if" the Chinese characters will break a program... This is a longer discussion, but I found the OS us

documents and desktop folders mixed up

If the names were correct and you're using an English language version of windows, you wouldn't notice any difference, as icon caching prevents the icons from disappearing right away.

Listing a driectory iin PowerShell is just like a Command Prompt. The actual Cmdlet is Get-ChildItem, but you can use any of the aliases:

• gci
• dir
• ls

 

Folders named "Documents" appear in more than one location

Yes, a third set of these folders appear in Quick Access which I imagine presents a list of aliases/shortcuts, but the contents of, for example, the Documents folder nested within This PC are different from the contents of the Documents folder nested deeper
at This PC > OS (C > Users > User1.

I appear to have two sets of distinctly different folders named Documents, Downloads, Pictures and Desktop.

 

Folder Freeze when trying to click on a Word Document. HELP

Hi there,

I came across a very weird bug/issue.

Use Case

Step 1: Create a word document on Desktop and name it TestFreeze

Step 2: Test that you can open the word document and write something like 'Testing freeze folder' ->save it

Step 3: Create a folder on Desktop and name it FreezeMe

Step 4: Copy 'TestFreeze' document in the 'FreezeMe' folder

Step 5: Open the 'FreezeMe' folder and select/click 'TestFreeze' document

Result: Folder Not Responding

Additional Information

I have run some tests and it does not matter:

• if it is a new or old Microsoft word file
• if the document has content in it or not
• if it has a long/short name or special characters
• it does not matter the folder or the name of the folder in which you put the file in

I also tried with an excel file and seems that I do not experience the same issue.

Microsoft version: 16.0.9330.2073

Windows version: 10.0.17134 Build 17134 with all updates up to date

If there is anything else I can provide to help sort this out, please do let me know.

Opened to any suggestions on how to fix this, as it is very frustrating.

Thanks
