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

    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.

    Thank you for your response, Johann.

    Do you know why this happened?

    Same here.

    None of the solutions that were suggested here are working:

    • using intl.cpl to copy locale language settings to lock screen and rebooting does nothing
    • clicking on "I'm not a fan" option doesn't change the picture, but it changes language to some other, that is now not even in latinic
    • changing lock screen to picture and then back to Spotlight changes nothing

    Kinda annoying.
