Windows 10: Settings search in wrong language (and nothing else)

I recently switched my system's display language from English (US) to Japanese, and then back. Everything is normal, except when I search for settings in the Settings window or the Start menu, which is still in Japanese. I have restarted multiple times, and done everything on this page and others:

How to change system language on Windows 10 | Windows Central

Here are my language settings, region, etc:











And yet...








I've even tried uninstalling the Japanese language pack, but no dice: the search remains in Japanese, as though the programs were renamed or something.

Any ideas? My version number is 20H2 build 19042.867.

Wrong language for Settings search results - Windows 10

The solution is far easier than that. The reason for this "bug" is because Windows indexes the settings options only in a certain scenario, the easiest way to do this I found on this link.

Before I had tried rebuilding index, renaming folders, nothing worked. Here are the steps:

1. Open Control Panel (“Windows Settings”)
   
2. Open “Time & Language”
   
3. Click “Language” (on the left)
   
4. Click “Administrative Language Settings” (on the right)
   
5. A popup opened up, called “Region”. In the Tab “Administrative” and te field “Welcome screen and new user accounts”, click “Copy Settings”.
   
6. Tick the boxes “Welcome screen and system accounts” and “new user accounts”.
   
7. Click OK and reboot.
   
8. Now, go to language settings, set back the “old” language (Germany in my case) as display language, sign out of windows, sign in again.
   
9. Now Set English as display language, sign out of windows and sign in
   again.
   

 

Search results in wrong language

Thank you for your quick response.

Unfortunately, I had already tried this but it is not working. I tried it again, but search results are still displayed in the wrong language. Problem is, after step 9 ("Put a check mark on Welcome
screen and system accounts and New user accounts") I click OK, but if I open the same window again ("Copy settings") the boxes are unchecked.

Any other suggestions please? It is really unpleasant.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
