Windows 10: Missing Cortana on Windows 10 Home Single Language

I recently bought a Lenovo Legion y530 that has a OS of windows 10 home single language pre-installed into it. After searching around the unit, I found out that my unit OS does not have a Cortana function. I tried searching around for any solution I can find and still arrive at a dead-end. What I can only presume is that I haven't installed yet, the proper updates and so maybe that maybe the cause of my problems. It is only my presumptions and I haven't yet concluded it. All answers and solutions are very much welcomed and well-appreciated! My deepest gratitude everyone, I hope I can resolve this problem...

Hi guys,

I had a similar problem with English Windows suddenly becoming Arabic.

Here's a quick fix which doesn't require creation of installation media or reinstall of Windows:

• Windows 10 has a utility called "LPKSetup" which manages the installation and configuration of language packs within Windows. Run LPKSetup from a command line.
• You now see a list of installed language packs. in your case, I guess it's only Arabic.
• Uninstall the Arabic language pack and confirm to restart. This step removes all language packs from your Single-Language Windows and then it decides to switch to the default language which is English/US!
• All done. Enjoy your English version of Windows 10!
  

Hope this information is helpful and save you some time in correcting the language settings.

Cheers!
