Windows 10: System Locale, "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support" several...

This beta option turned itself on after a Windows update. Outlook 2019 suddenly began corrupting Japanese characters when importing contacts from .csv files and Import/Export is greyed out unless menus are set to English. Apparently Outlook 2019 still doesn't support UTF-8 for Asian language characters, and Japanese needs to be in SHIFT-JIS ANSI. This beta option forces it to use UTF-8, which it can't, and exports coded in UTF-8 then cannot be read back in again. Also, it is impossible to convert a UTF-8 encoded file to ANSI in Notepad anymore -- the option is still there but it doesn't work

Unicode (UTF-8) to support the language worldwide Create BSOD

Hello,

I have tried to use the Bêta function "use Unicode (UTF-8) to support the language worldwide" because i have chinese and japanese software on the computer (that not working proprelly if i dont set non unicode to Japan or
chinese).

Changing to this causing BSOD to my Laptop (Dell Latitude 7424 Rugged Extreme).

I have get many different BSOD but no Minidump was created (yes, after many BSOD windows have loader, if i reboot i have newly many BSOD, it can happen 3 to 6 BSOD before windows start correclty, if i Uncheck the Bêta funcion and reboot, i dont get BSOD, tried
6x reboot, no BSOD, recheck the beta function, BSOD when loading) The most BSOD code that appears is "Kernel Mode Heap Corruption". I also have see "Page Fault in Nonpaged Area" or "IRQL not less or equal" but is more rare to have these. i mostly have the
"Kernel mode heap corruption" .

If the Bêta function "Unicode (UTF-8) to support the language worldwide" is unchecked, i have NO problems or BSOD during windows boot.

Yes i know it's a bêta, but , i have chance because the Laptop have loaded windows after many BSOD, because i have tried Repair windows (That repair windows startup) and it found nothing. In this case that be possible that user have BSO and no possibilit to
pass this exept a full whipe out and reinstall and i know that NOTHING whas happy to wipe out and reinstalling his computer...

Please making this function working proprelly because, yes, it was a small positive point, the Japanese and Chinese application (when the laptop pass the BSOD) is woking fine. I said this because pass the computer at Non UNICODE chinese cause certain application
that use non unicode to be displayed in chinese (with the Beta function not)

I have the same problem. Any solution ?

Seems that it is related to the new checkbox option "Beta:
use unicode utf-8 for worldwide language support" in the legacy control panel under
Region / Administrative / Change system locale
