The button to change languages is also missing.

    Hi JesseNelms -

    I'm Kevin B. Independent Advisor and a Windows user like you. I do apologize for the inconvenience that you're experiencing right now, let me help you sort things out.

    Are there any recent changes made on the computer before the issue started?

    Please follow the steps below and check if it helps

    Open you web browser and go to Microsoft News page (MSN page)

    Look for the gear icon on the upper right part of the page and click it

    Under Language & content, change the language to English

    Go to the news and interest feed and refresh

    That should change the language of your News and Interest back to English

    Hope this will help and have a bless day!

    Thanks.

    Kevin B.

    Independent advisor

    Hi Jesse, make sure VPN isn't enabled.

    Also make sure the region is set correctly on this page.

    Microsoft News (msn.com)

    I have the same problem, changing region and language at link above didn't help. News and interests are still in Chinese. I don't use a VPN, I haven't switched to Chinese anytime in the past (I don't read Chinese nor I am interested in Chinese news). So no idea why it happens. Cannot fix it and it makes News and Interests unusable to me.

    Can confirm that you are not alone as I also see some reports now. Can you please file feedback?

    Submitted the feedback, I hope it's fixed soon. Now it doesn't even display weather, just news in Chinese. (Weather was for different city anyway, as on the screenshot above).
