Windows 10: Windows 10 display language keeps changing automatically

Since I have installed the 1903 update my windows 10 display language keeps defaulting to Swedish and I have to run the following commands to revert to English:


dism /Online /Get-Packages
dism /Online /Remove-Package /PackageName:<all packages with Sv-Se in the name>


In my case the following showed up:

Microsoft-Windows-Client-LanguagePack-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~sv-SE~10.0.18362.1

Microsoft-Windows-Client-LanguagePack-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~sv-SE~10.0.18362.239

Microsoft-Windows-SNMP-Client-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~sv-SE~10.0.18362.1

Microsoft-Windows-SNMP-Client-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~wow64~sv-SE~10.0.18362.1


Reboot and the display language changes to English, but I don't have a local Swedish language pack so Skype for example will autocorrect words when I write in Swedish. If I leave my PC on during the night, Windows Update will reinstall the Swedish language packs and change the display language to Swedish.


If I go to settings before I issue the above commands and try to change display language there, only Swedish is listed. I have the option to go to Windows Store to download other languages but English is not among them. But in Settings for language I can see that the English language packs are installed on my PC.


Prior to the 1903 update I did not have this issue. I had English as display language and local Swedish language pack installed.


How can I prevent Windows from changing display language? Right now I pause updates 7 days so I just have to go through this once a week instead of every day.

Windows 8.1 update changed the language, can't change back

Maybe, these will help... it seems it is a common enough problem.

Language packs are no longer available after you upgrade to Windows 8.1

And, sort of the same here --> Add a language or keyboard

Quote from above MS web page:

Spoiler Download and install language packs
You'll need to download the language pack if you want to make a language your Windows display language (that's the language you see most often in Windows and apps).

• Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
  (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
• Tap or click Time and language, and then tap or click Region and language.
• Tap or click a language that says Language pack available underneath, and then tap or click Options.
• Tap or click Download. The download process might take a while, depending on your PC and the size of the language pack.
  If you want to make this your display language, see the next section "Change your Windows display language".

Change your Windows display language
To change your Windows display language (that's the language you see most often in Windows and apps), first add a language, download and install the language pack, and then follow these steps.

• Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
  (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
• Tap or click Time and language, and then tap or click Region and language.
• Tap or click the language that you want to set as your display language.
• Tap or click Set as primary to move the language to the top of the list. If the language can become your Windows display language, you'll see Will be display language after next sign-in appear under the language.
• Sign out and then sign back in to finish.

I can not change display language

Hi,



Thank you for your reply.



I suggest you to Change settings that may block installation

There are advanced language settings that may block the download of language packs. To revert these settings to their defaults values so that you can download language packs, follow these steps:

• 
  Open Control Panel. To do this, type Control Panel in the
  Search box, and then tap or click Control Panel in the search results list.
  
• 
  Tap or click Clock, Language and Region. (If you are viewing Control Panel in icon display, select
  Language, and then go to step 4.)
  
• 
  Tap or click Language.
  
• 
  Tap or click Advanced settings.
  
• 
  Examine the Override for Windows display language and
  Override for default input method lists. Make sure that the
  Use language list (recommended) option is selected for both lists

I suggest you to check if you are able to change the language in the lock screen by following the steps below:

• In the lock screen click on the last icon from the right.
• Select English from the menu.

If this option is not available, in the lock screen, hold the Windows key and use Space bar key to change language.



Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.
