Hello, a few days ago I spent 808RMB on the Microsoft Store to purchase the Microsoft System Professional Edition. I changed the language to English, but now everything else is displayed in English. However, only the menu under "Settings" still shows Chinese. How can I solve this problem? I have downloaded all the English installation packages (UK and US), but it still doesn't work. Please contact me as soon as possible to help me solve the problem. Thank you! I am in a hurry.

    To have the Settings app also display in English, the Windows display language and language pack must be fully installed and set correctly, and English must be at the top of the preferred languages list.

    Follow these steps on Windows 10/11:

    1. Open Start → Settings → Time & language → Language (or Language & region).
    2. Under Preferred languages, make sure English (United States) or English (United Kingdom) is listed.
      • If not, select Add a language, search for the desired English variant, select it, then choose Next.
      • In Install language features, select the language features needed (especially the display language) and select Install.
    3. After installation, under Windows display language, select the English language that was installed.
    4. In Preferred languages, move the same English language to the top of the list so that apps and system UI use it by default.
    5. Sign out of Windows and sign back in (or restart) so the Settings app and other UI components pick up the new display language.

    If using Windows PowerShell on Windows 10, the system locale can also be set to English:

    Get-WinSystemLocale
Set-WinSystemLocale en-US   # or en-GB

    Then sign out and sign back in.

    Note: Installing many language packs can affect disk space and performance, so keep only the languages that are actually needed.
