Windows 10: only want english language on titles etc

only want english language on titles main screen

:)

 

English (United States) for adding language is greyed.

The step where a list of optional languages are displayed.

The US English is presently not installed, and there is no other language except a base language which came with W10 22H2. Edit: So I just installed the US English. That is it. The US English is greyed because I took the first step of "Add Language" and forgot completing whole steps.

 

Language set to English but some app titles and stuff in Thai

I was in a similar situation, but in my case I had Chinese (Traditional) installed in addition to English (United State). Most of the apps' titles were displayed in Chinese (Traditional) while I preferred them to be in English. After some experiments I finally
got Windows 10 to display only English for apps' titles.

The following procedure is how I did it. Hopefully it can help other people facing this issue. (NOTE:
Please replace with the languages you have and want on your Windows 10.)

• Go to Settings -> Time & language. Select "Region & language" tab, and then remove all languages except English (United States).
• On the same "Region & language" page, click the link "Additional date, time, & regional settings" at the bottom. A Control Panel window, "Clock, Language, and Region", will be opened.
• In that window, click the "Language" link at the right pane. The "Language" window will show up. Click on the "Advanced settings" link at the left.
• In the Advanced settings window, click on the "Restore defaults" at the bottom. and press the "Save" button. You will be sent back to the "Language" Control Panel window. Click the "Advanced settings" again.
• Back on the "Advanced settings" window, click the "Apply language settings to the welcome screen, system account, and new user accounts" link at "Override for Windows display language" section. A "Region" window will show up.
• Check that the Current language for non-Unicode programs is English (United State). If it's not, then press the "Change system locale..." button to change it. You will need to restart after the change.
• Now please follow the procedure at Reinstalling preinstalled apps and reinstall all preinstalled
  apps. After it's done, wait for a few minutes and then check your apps' titles on the Start menu.

I am not sure whether all steps in the procedure are necessary, but I am sure at the end my Windows 10 displays apps' titles only in English.

Afterwards you can add other languages back. The apps will stay in English as long as other languages are at lower priority.
