Windows 10: Computer language completely changed windows pc

Recently I was just playing a steam game, and something happened. All the keys stopped working, the mouse button wouldn’t left click or right click. Instead, the only key that works is the shift key which opens up a language bar. Other then that, if I left click it just constantly opens a new google window or downloads whatever I click on. I can’t right click or type anything at all - the letter keys don’t work at all. I’ve been googling for over an hour now and nothing has work. Are my computer mouse and keyboard settings just effed up for good?

Windows 8.1 update changed the language, can't change back

Maybe, these will help... it seems it is a common enough problem.

Language packs are no longer available after you upgrade to Windows 8.1

And, sort of the same here --> Add a language or keyboard

Quote from above MS web page:

Spoiler Download and install language packs
You'll need to download the language pack if you want to make a language your Windows display language (that's the language you see most often in Windows and apps).

• Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
  (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
• Tap or click Time and language, and then tap or click Region and language.
• Tap or click a language that says Language pack available underneath, and then tap or click Options.
• Tap or click Download. The download process might take a while, depending on your PC and the size of the language pack.
  If you want to make this your display language, see the next section "Change your Windows display language".

Change your Windows display language
To change your Windows display language (that's the language you see most often in Windows and apps), first add a language, download and install the language pack, and then follow these steps.

• Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
  (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
• Tap or click Time and language, and then tap or click Region and language.
• Tap or click the language that you want to set as your display language.
• Tap or click Set as primary to move the language to the top of the list. If the language can become your Windows display language, you'll see Will be display language after next sign-in appear under the language.
• Sign out and then sign back in to finish.

And here is some more info --> Add Language Packs to Windows

 

Windows language not completely changed

Language packs are getting better,in Windows 10 they are if you ask me, using several language packs, they are as close to perfect as possible.

That being said, deep down some elements remain in original language. A good example in addition to those details you mentioned is Local Users and Groups manager (lusrmgr.msc); in screenshot you can see that although I have changed original German to English with a language pack, all user groups are still in German:




This means that if I for instance would like to add a user to Remote Desktop Users, I would need to use group's German name Remotedesktopbenutzer instead.

To completely change system and display language on an existing installation keeping your user account, personal files and installed applications, you need to force Windows to run the setup (OOBE) again. To do this, open Run dialog and type %windir%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe to open Sysprep:




Accept defaults, click OK to start Sysprep:



Sysprep will restart your PC, going through setup once again. After restart you will be asked which language you want to use to setup Windows, listing the original language (German in this case), and all installed languages (language packs, UK English in this example case). Select your preferred language:




Set region and language preferences, click Next:




Skip the product key, it will not be needed. An activated Windows will remain activated when sysprepped:




You need to set up a temporary account, I in these cases set up a local account called Dummy:




You can't use any existing user name; as I had a local user before Sysprep, setup will not accept it:




That's it. When on desktop, sign out from temporary Dummy account, sign in to your original account and remove Dummy account.

Looking the Local Users and Groups manager now you will see that even those group names have been changed to English:




The two Start tile section headers are still in original language, change or remove them, as will be a few live tiles of native Windows apps. They will change to English when you start using them, or you can remove these tiles if they are not needed.

Everything else is now in English. Don't forget to backup Windows before starting!
