    Hello,

    Thank you for using Microsoft products and posting to the community.

    Based on your descriptions, it seems that the system accounts used for displaying the Windows Spotlight screen is using Thai.

    To check so, please press Windows+R, enter "intl.cpl", go to the "Administrative" tab, and check whether "Welcome screen" is in English. If not, check the "Welcome screen and system accounts" checkbox below, confirm and reboot. Check whether the Windows Spotlight screen is still using Thai.

    Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates, thanks.

    Best Regards,

    Johann - MSFT | Microsoft Community Support Specialist

    Thank you,

    but I did all that already with no effect.

    Windows spotlight today shows a different picture and all is back to English. Maybe this was just an issue of a specific spotlight page?

    Anyhow thanks for your help!

    Hello,

    It could be the cause. Sometimes the image could be based on the network location, which could be in Thailand when the image was pushed.

    Regardless, we are very happy to know that everything is now working on your end.

    Do not hesitate to ask the community at any time in case you have any questions in the future.

    I have the same problem, this is a serious issue. First I though it's a virus. I've taken all these steps the language is still in Thai.
