Windows 10: Some of my installed programs now are in japanese

Hello, recently i changed this option in Region options, I changed it because it was needed for the instal of a Japanese game, after doing it I changed it bad to my normal Region but I found Support Assistant has Japanese things in the name, I want to change it back to normal spanish name but I don't know how to do it.

Switching Japanese Windows with English menus

Yes, I do mean those keys. I tried just switching to Japanese keyboard, as you suggested, but those keys didn't work. Also, the selection key is normally the spacebar in Japan but I could only get IME to work with the Tab key (for those who aren't familiar with Japanese typing: you type in Roman characters, then press a selection key and it steps you through a list of options for the word you are typing in Japanese characters). Did you get the special keys to work as they do in native Japanese mode?

It may well be that I was missing something, although I did try every option I could think of. In any event, as I said, I gave in and now have Japanese Windows running with English menus and everything seems to be working perfectly.
Thanks,

Mike
