Windows 10: mishmash of several languages after language swap

I want to change the language to another one, but there are still a lot of remnants of the previously set language. I've already had to reinstall Windows three times in the last two days because something keeps breaking. Now I'm at a point where it's stable, but the language change just doesn't work properly. I downloaded an English version of Windows because the German installation kept showing up as corrupted. I downloaded the German language pack and set it as the default, but now I have a real mess: the Settings app is called "Settings", but in the window itself everything is in English. T

Language

Hi Sassy,

To remove the Croatian language in Windows 10, we suggest that you follow these steps:

• Open the Settings app, select Time & Language, and click
  Region & Language.
• Under Add a language, select English, and click
  Set as default.
• Select the Croatian language and click Remove.
  
• Close the Settings app, restart the computer, and check if the issue persists.
  

Let us know if the steps provided worked for you.

 

Tooltips displayed in the wrong language

Although my version of Windows is set to English and the GPU-Z "Tooltip Language" appears as "System Default (English (United Kingdom))", the tooltips are appearing in the language corresponding to my system locale (or possibly keyboard layout), not the actual system language. I frequently change the keyboard layout and date format (to match the clients I'm working for and the language I'm writing in), but the system language never changes (and software is supposed to run in that language).

I can manually select "English (United States)", but this basically makes it impossible for me to select the "correct" language (i.e., UK English), because it doesn't appear in the list (other than as "system default" - but is then ignored). Obviously it makes no difference to me if it's in UK or US English, but people with other language combinations might have a problem.

It seems the routine that populates the language list in the options is (correctly) determining the system language, but the routine that actually generates the tooltips is (incorrectly) reading the system locale instead of language.
