Windows 10: Language/Region Settings not affecting everywhere.

I bought an XP Spectre Laptop in Japan. When the first install happened there was no initial option to switch language, so I did the install in Japanese. Since then I have switched the language and region to UK. But there are still some things showing in Japanese. If I search for anything in settings, the results are Japanese. Installation button on new apps are Japanese. Things I have done: Go to Settings → Time and Region → Region and Language → Delete all other languages and only keep EnglishControl Panel → Region → Format → Set it

Resetting language and regions

Hi Dee,

The option to reset the language and region can either be done in the Control Panel or the Settings app. Since you are having issues with the reset option, we would like to ask for additional information to help us provide the appropriate troubleshooting
steps. Please answer the following:

• What build and version of Windows 10 is your PC running on?
• Did you get an error after resetting the language and region?
• In which language and region are you trying to reset it to?
  
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

We hope to hear from you soon.

 

Problem with setting English language


Yes you can and it is the same as in 7 if I remember correctly.

Search for Language in Control Panel. Click on Options in the English Language.





On Input Method click on Add Input Method and scroll down the list until you find Spanish. Then remove English.





This only affects your keyboard - no other regional or language settings are affected.

For Cortana to work you need your language, region and speech have to be the same - it doesn't care about the keyboard. If your language is US English you'll need to make sure you set your region to US as well. As region affects things like search results and news I leave mine where I am and don't use Cortana but it is up to you - I've just not found a use for it yet.
