I was in Thailand and this happened as soon as I left so I had a moment of fear of malware/hackers but I was relieved to see this chain and that I am not alone. Agreed that this is not cool, Microsoft!
Windows Spotlight suddenly decided to use Thai language instead of my system setting (US English). How to fix this?

After login, all language/region settings seem fine.
Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows Hello, lock screen and sign-in

2024-02-04T15:08:50+00:00 I've been having the same issue since end of last year and I thought that it was my computer. I was a little amused at the beginning waiting for it to resolve itself.
The issue appears on and off, but it's becoming really annoying. I tried to open Bing maps and everything was in Thai. I don't have the least idea of Thai and I'm located far away from Asia. All the settings are right on my computer both region and languages.
So, why am I getting content in Thai?

- No currently listed fix has worked except disabling Windows Spotlight...
Purely replying in hopes more replies draws more attention.

2024-01-31T21:13:44+00:00 this must have been a bug in the last update. i have not been traveling around the world, and I don't have a VPN, but it still changes to various languages as if the description/info blurb language is based on where the picture was taken or the default language settings on the photographer's computer (?), ignoring my settings.
I did change back to the normal picture only lock screen until this gets sorted.
