    I'm looking for a way to install/set the preferred language of a Windows11 system. Currently the Windows Display language is English united states en-US but the preferred language is set to dutch belgium. This setting has the consequence that for example my windows defender interface is in dutch and the rest is in english.I know I can click on the add language button and then move those languages up to get this changed, but i'd like to have it scripted with command line.I already tried with PS commands like:Install-languageget-installedlanguageget and set-systemPreferredUIlanguage but t

    Suggestion: /? (-?) and /help (-help) command-line arguments to show a list of all possible arguments in a small window. *Smile WIN11 - Can I change my preferred language with command line? :)

    languages preferred

    Hello,

    Assuming you want to use English (United States) as your preferred language, try these steps

    1. Right click Start Button or press Windows + X keys and select Windows PowerShell (Admin).

    2. In the administrative Windows PowerShell window, type these commands one-by-one and press Enter key after each:

    Get-WinUserLanguageList

    This will display list of installed languages on your machine. Note the LanguageTag for your preferred language.

    $1=New-WinUserLanguageList <LanguageTag>

    Replace <LanguageTag> for your preferred language. For example, if your preferred language is English (United States), then you can use $1=New-WinUserLanguageList en-US.

    Set-WinUserLanguageList $1

    After this, when opted, type Y to confirm setting preferred language. Close Windows PowerShell and you're done.

    Hope this helps!
