Windows 10: Why are all of my windows apps in Spanish?

Since the last updates, all of my windows apps are in Spanish, although, my computer system is in English still, and the region, etc., all that is fine. But my apps suddenly are in Spanish. I am currently living in Latin America. How can I turn them back in English?

Windows 10 Start Menu, apps and store displaying in Spanish while OS is English. How can I fix?

I too have had this issue. I will use the Spanish keyboard for communication with friends who speak Spanish on social media. I think when I upgraded to Windows 10, the Spanish keyboard was on and thus many apps were displayed in Spanish. I just tried following
the steps that were suggested, but I did something a little different and now my apps are all in English even though my keyboard is presently in Spanish.

First, I went to the 'Time & Language' settings. Then I clicked on the 'Region & language' tab. At the bottom of that screen it says 'Related settings'. I clicked on the link that says 'Additional date, time, & regional settings'. This opened a new window.
Underneath the heading 'Language', there is a link that says 'Change input methods'. Upon opening this link I came to a list of the languages I use on my computer. It was listed Español first and English second. You can choose to 'Move up' the English language.
When I did that it seemed to solve the issue. Now all of my apps are in English. I just tested this out and clicked 'Move up' for Español and it changed the language of those apps back to Spanish.

Hopefully this helps you solve this issue. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Sherrie
