Cannot set English as the default language

I had opposite problem. I had English as my default language and after updating Win 10 to latest Windows 10 version 1511 I can no longer set English as default display and system language and had to revert to the former version of Windows. An assistant from
Microsoft who remotely connected to my laptop couldn't figure out the problem too.
