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

    Same problem here. Sudden switch to Thai with an English US system and Korea region. However, voting "not a fan" fixed the problem. Thanks for the suggestion.

    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.

    Also an issue for us for all our staff. Caused considerable concern about hacking issues before I located this thread.

    Traveling a lot for work this as other have said certainly sparked a fear of malware/intrusion, really not cool Microsoft...

    • No currently listed fix has worked except disabling Windows Spotlight...

    Purely replying in hopes more replies draws more attention.
