  1. Why are the photo descriptions on the lock screen appearing in different languages?


    I have the windows spotlight feature enabled for my lock screen on both my PC and my Surface. Recently the text describing the background photo has been appearing in different languages. Yesterday on my Surface the text was in Swedish and this morning on my PC it was in Thai. Other text related to windows functionality was still in english - for example I was still prompted to "Sign in" in English.
