Windows Keeps Adding English Language In Settings

Dec 8, 2015

I use the German and Greek keyboard layouts, and I often need to switch between them. But windows keeps adding an Englishs keyboard several times every day, which I have to manually delete again. I can't just ignore it, because it interferes with switching between the other two languages. Furthermore, there's no straightforward way to delete English; you have to manually add it first (even though it's already been activated by Windows) before you can delete it.

This problem already existed in Windows 8.1, but at lest there was a workaround. In Win 8.1, you could just add German as a secodary layout to the English language, and then set it as primary. This would fool Windows into thinking that you were using English. This no longer works in Win10, because now it detects that you're lacking a German primary language, so it installs it again for you, even though you're already using it, resulting in 4 installed languages, 2 of which are German.

I ONLY want German and Greek! How can I prevent Windows from adding English every few hours?

Installation :: English Not Showing Up As Install Language

Aug 1, 2015

I downloaded the ISO using the Media Creation tool of Windows 10, booted my system with it but at the Language and Country selection screen (the very first one) I can see only one country "Cestina (Ceska Republika)" . Similarly in language drop-down, English is not listed, neither are US or UK listed as countries. What do I do?

Dell XPS 13 / How To Install Another Language On Single Language Windows

Jan 11, 2016

I have a problem with a new Dell XPS 13 I bought in China. It apparently does not allow language packs, and I have a really hard time understanding most of the words. I tried returning the laptop and buying back in the USA, but the store didn't accept returns. Now I'm stuck with a basically useless computer that I bought for no reason and I need to install English onto the computer. Any ways I can do this?

Updates :: Cannot Add English To Interface Through Windows Update

Oct 10, 2015

I have tried to add English to my interface without any luck at all. Instead of the usual Windows Update it just says 'Searching Windows Update' then nothing. I have deleted English then attempted to install it again but nothing, its just the same as previously stated.

Perhaps a download link where I can download the pack without going through Windows Update? I am running Build 10547.....

How To Change Language Settings For Non-unicode Programs

Sep 3, 2015

Installed a chinese application earlier called Kuwo Music Player. I have been using this particular application for quite some time and today is the first occasion where I decided to give it a go on Windows 10 too. Then came the problem, I realised that the settings to change the system locale ( this is necessary otherwise the chinese characters cannot be displayed) is no longer where it was in Windows 7/8. I too couldn't find any useful results on the Internet. where I can find and change that setting, or any other working solution would do.

Browser/Email :: Adding New Accounts To Windows Mail

Sep 12, 2015

I have added a gmail account to the Mail app but cannot add a Plusnet POP3 account in Settings/Accounts/Add account. In 'other accounts' I enter the email address and password and get the message : 'We couldn't find info for that account. Make sure that the email address is correct then try again'.

In Windows 7 I use Windows Live Mail which works perfectly well with both accounts. Can I export my accounts and contact info from Win Live Mail to the Win10 app? Live Mail works normally within Win10 but I would prefer to use Mail since it appears to have a more rapid response time.

Can't Remove English UK Keyboard?

Apr 3, 2016

I'm using windows 10 PC (not on the insider program) and I have some strange problem. In my keyboards there's supposed to be 3 languageskeyboard layouts : English US, Deutsch (Germany), Arabic 101 (Egypt). However there is an extra keyboard that I don't remember choosing ; English United Kingdom, to add to the delimma, this "Egnlish UK" keyboard in fact types "arabic 101" - I've looked in control panel and settings app many times, I don't find that keyboard listed anywhere, I don't know how to remove it or how it got there in the first place, and it's really confusing and annoying because I keep choosing it unintentionally and start typing in English to see Arabic characters on my screen. How do I remove this?

To further understand the problem you can see screenshots here : [URL] .....

All Menus Could Not Be Changed To English During Install

Mar 15, 2016

I installed a JP version of windows 10 but then bought an English version and installed that after finding all the menus could not be changed to English during the install. My question is does the English version overwrite the JP version or are files left on the SSD using up space? Also in the end I returned the English version cause I found you can add a language pack to the JP version. The problem with this is that if you get a blue screen the windows messages are in Japanese. So now unless I can change this I'm going to go back to an English version of windows 10.

Installation :: Downgrade To Windows 7 (NOT From PC Settings)

Oct 27, 2015

I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and now i want to downgrade, because the OS gets more and more limiting with every Insider Build and Update (How do you expect locking the Taskbar texture to not be changed to the Taskbar my Classic,XP Luna,and Aero have?) and for gaming reasons (Minecraft keeps on crashing,due to 10s automatic driver updates). Unfortunatly, with the way MicroLocker provided,since my laptop came with 8.1, Settings only let's me downgrade to 8.1, which is the OS i hated more than 10 (Even though it's limitful, 10 is better than 8). So how can i do that?

My Windows sign in setting is "never" yet when my computer is in sleep mode and I come back to use it has a sign in. I sign in and open settings and view the sign in setting and it is still "never". How can the system directly go against a system setting? Is there a correction for a situation where the setting is correct but the behavior of the system is wrong?

How To Downgrade To Windows 7 If Can't Open Settings

Sep 9, 2015

I upgraded to Windows 10 earlier this week and I've had nothing but problems with it, namely that all of the new apps (Mail, Calendar, Microsoft Edge, etc) and a few of my 3rd party programs (namely iTunes) won't open. When I click on them from the taskbar, the Start menu, or Cortana, either nothing at all happens or I get a box that says "Explorer.exe: Element not found" or "RuntimeBroker.exe: Element not found."

After a long time on the phone with Microsoft support, we realized that my computer (Lenovo Ideapad Y580) wasn't yet compatible with Windows 10 because Lenovo hadn't developed the drivers for it yet. They said I should revert to Windows 7 until they create them. Here's the problem though: One of the apps that won't open for me is Settings, which means I can't get to the Recovery page to downgrade back to Windows 7.

Is there some way to downgrade without using Settings?

Updates :: Can't Open Settings (Windows Update)

Jul 30, 2015

Everything went well on the Win10 installation, but the only problem is that when I go to access the settings tab in the start menu, it just flashes briefly like it tries to open the settings window, and then disappears, so I can't access anything in the settings. No update checking, just nothing. Everything else seems to work... I can also access the system info window and it shows Windows 10 to be activated.

Edit: I can get to the control panel, and I can see Windows Update, but I get this error message when I try to click on it:

The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.

Cannot Save Settings - Preparing Windows At Every Startup

Oct 2, 2015

I have only one account with administrative privileges. However, at reboot, Windows 10 starts fresh. It says preparing system.

There are some programs I installed which remain, however, don't save settings. For instance, Mozilla Firefox won't stay default browser, it won't save my homepage, addons won't save. It's similar with other programs.

It seems like Windows just doesn't save settings but loads fresh at ever startup.
