Windows 10: Single language

Hello all,


I purchased a single language PC in error thinking it would be easy to change the language. Mistake. it was a windows 8 edition, so I purchased a new OS in English, Win 10 RTM Professional OEMM. success all in English except on occasion and particularly in reset or restore mode it still pops up in French.


My question, is the restore/reset system part of the O.S or is it part of the BIOS.


Question 2. Would I have to change the BIOS to have all in English.


Question 3. I recently bricked my PC by downloading a corrupt Bios update from the manufactures website, will the bios be in English or the original Language when and if it is repaired.


Not sure what category to post this under so apologies in advance.


Any advice would help clarify what is to me, oft a complicated subject.


Thank you.

:)

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!
