The pictures explain the problem!

This is on one of my two Win 10 Pro computers, the other computer has only Swedish menus!

Can't find settings for this anywhere!

    In my case I have an entirely non-English Windows 10 interface and just a few days ago I started noticing that the ribbon in Explorer is now falling back to English names on a bunch of options like "Computer", "Share", "Drive Tools". Oddly enough, all options inside those menus are in the native language instead of English (as they should).

    Dozens of Win10 machines with this same issue. It bears all the hallmarks of rushed Windows Updates.

    No fix as of yet, not even an acknowledgement from Microsoft as far as I can tell.

    If it turns out to be an optional update, good riddance... otherwise, not worth the trouble for the moment, hoping for Microsoft to get around to fix it.

    Very interesting find!

    I installed both the Danish and English language packs and all menus were displayed correctly on respective language.

    I then uninstalled my native language Swedish and downloaded and reinstalled it and thought it would finally work.

    Unfortunately back to square one ?????

    If you want To report this bug to Microsoft use the Feedback Hub app in Start Menu where developers are tasked to process consumer feedback. They will not even see it here. This is a tech forums staffed mostly by volunteers trying to help with your problems.

    I have also showed you how to roll back Updates which cause problems and then block them. Even if the Update is not available to be uninstalled, I showed you how to System Restore to before it installed and then block it.

    Also, if this is an organizational setting I would ask at our

    sister forums for IT Professionals, Q&A forums here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/answers/index.html as Microsoft Community is strictly an end-consumer forum.

    There are also equally good (and sometimes busier) IT Pro forums here:

    https://www.techrepublic.com/forums/ https://www.spiceworks.com/

    I hope it helps.

    Yes, unfortunately this is most probably due to the fact that Microsoft has shipped and digitally signed all the files for the Swedish LXP update as if proper, yet somewhere along their compilation process something must have gone wrong and the compilation fallback pulled English strings instead of Swedish for some of the resources. This is an educated guess, of course. As far as a fix goes, I'm guessing Microsoft needs to be the one to step up here, following Greg's advice would be a good starting point though.
