    Search results in wrong language

    Thank you for your quick response.

    Unfortunately, I had already tried this but it is not working. I tried it again, but search results are still displayed in the wrong language. Problem is, after step 9 ("Put a check mark on Welcome
    screen and system accounts
    and New user accounts") I click OK, but if I open the same window again ("Copy settings") the boxes are unchecked.

    Any other suggestions please? It is really unpleasant.

    Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

  3. Search results in wrong language

    Before you consider reinstalling Windows, let's try to do one more troubleshooting. Since this language issue only happens with Windows Search, we recommend that you rebuild your search index.

    To rebuild your search index, follow the steps below:

    • Go to Control Panel, make sure it's viewed by Large icons.
    • Select Indexing Options.
    • Click Advanced.
    • Click Rebuild.
    • After the process is done, restart your device.
    Keep us posted with the results.
