Your fix doesn't work. The bug appears to be in Spotlight itself as the language changes to whereever the location of the picture is. Hope Microsoft fixes this soon. In them meantime, I'm turning Windows Spotlight off.
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.

2024-01-03T19:42:12+00:00 Dear Johan,
I have the same problem (I have not used my laptop between 29 Dec and 3 Jan). My welcome screen, and my sleep screen turn to Thai no matter how many times I re-set back to English. I have also tried your recommendation, but it is still Thai after restart. I would appreciate another advice/idea. Thank you!
Happy New Year!Giorgiana

2024-01-12T22:02:49+00:00 On 12 January 2024, Windows Spotlight's language changed from English to Chinese to Turkish. Horrible!
How do you enforce Spotlight to keep to Welcome screen language regardless of the content show?
Thanks.

That second picture is now active for me, this time without any metadata.
We'll just have to wait for Microsoft to fix the sillyness.
