    Windows 10 Pro language change- Windows Update stuck on Chinese


    I recently purchased a Lenovo notebook in China, it came with Windows 10 Home (Chinese language)


    Right after the first setup and downloading all the recent updates I purchased the "Pro" upgrade through Settings->Update&security->Activation, in Microsoft Store.

    The edition is now Windows 10 Pro.


    I downloaded and installed the English (US) language pack, set it as default, including checking boxes in "Administrative language settings"


    The operation was successful and the display language is now English, EXCEPT FOR the Windows Update panel (Settings->Update&Security->Windows Update), which is stuck on Chinese, with some texts appearing in English:

    In some of the menus, say "Advanced Settings", the texts are also mixed.

    Update options, Update notifications, Choose when updates are installed- English, but the texts underneath them are in Chinese.


    How do I make it all switch to English ?

    :)

    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.
    And here is some more info --> Add Language Packs to Windows

    Incomplete Language Change- some panels stuck on Chinese


    I recently purchased a Lenovo notebook in China, it came with Windows 10 Home (Chinese language)

    Right after the first setup and downloading all the recent updates I purchased the "Pro" upgrade through Settings->Update&security->Activation, in Microsoft Store.

    The edition is now Windows 10 Pro.

    I downloaded and installed the English (US) language pack, set it as default, including checking boxes in "Administrative language settings"

    The operation was successful and the display language is now English, EXCEPT FOR:
    - Windows Update panel (Settings->Update&Security->Windows Update), which is stuck on Chinese, with some texts appearing in English
    - Edge browser, which is still Chinese
    - some minor popups, like the sound level

    I already tried the solution from this post (2 years old):
    Windows language not completely changed - Windows 10 Forums
    (force Windows to run the setup (OOBE) again, using sysprep)

    With the English language pack installed, the beginning of the setup process was in Chinese (the "please wait" message in the middle), then it all switched to English without any prompts, with Cortana speaking in English.
    It didn't ask for a licence key, want through all setups and still, the result remains as in the img. I attached.

    Any chance there's some other solution that came up in the past 2 years ?
