    Windows Security follows the same language and regional settings as Windows itself. To align it with English, ensure that English is fully installed, set as the Windows display language, and at the top of the Preferred languages list.

    1. Install and set English as display language (if not already):
      • Select Start > Settings > Time & language > Language & region.
      • Under Preferred languages, if English is missing, select Add a language, choose English, and in Install language features select Language pack and (optionally) Set as my Windows display language, then Install.
      • Under Windows display language, choose English.
      • Sign out when prompted and sign back in so the change fully applies.
    2. Make English the first preferred language for apps:
      • In Settings > Time & language > Language & region, under Preferred languages, drag English to the top of the list.
      • This ensures Microsoft apps and components (including Windows Security) use English where supported.

    Note: Some languages are not fully localized; if another language remains higher in the list or is the first fully localized language, parts of the interface may still appear in that language. Ensuring English is both the Windows display language and the first entry in Preferred languages minimizes this.

    Hi,

    I first suggest that you try the AI-suggested solution above, and if the issue persists, continue troubleshooting by following the steps below:

    Press Windows + R, type Control and hit Ok.

    Click Clock and Region > Select Region > Administrative tab

    Click change system locale.

    Select Change System Locale in the "Language for non-Unicode programs" section.

    Choose the same language as the system language from the drop-down list.

    Next, press Windows + R, type Control and hit Ok.

    Click Clock and Region > Select Region > Administrative tab

    On the Administrative tab click the copy settings button

    Check 'Welcome screen and system accounts' and New user accounts

    Hit OK then restart your computer.
