I added a language (in Region & Language) and then I changed the default display language to the new language. It worked. Now when I changed the display language back to "English" again, it didn't really happen for everything. I see non-English characters in start and search as shown below:

Restarting the system and redoing the whole process don't fix it. How can this be fixed?

  • Check if this happens in another user profile.

Your user profile seems to be corrupted, as the problem does not arrive on a new profile.

You may migrate data from the old profile by using some (or all) of the commands below :

copy c:\users\oldprofile\Desktop c:\users\newprofile\Desktop
copy c:\users\oldprofile\documents c:\users\newprofile\documents
copy c:\users\oldprofile\music c:\users\newprofile\music
copy c:\users\oldprofile\video c:\users\newprofile\video
copy c:\users\oldprofile\pictures c:\users\newprofile\pictures
copy c:\users\oldprofile\appdata\roaming\microsoft\outlook c:\users\newprofile\appdata\roaming\microsoft\outlook

For Start Menu settings, copy C:\Users\oldprofile\AppData\Local\TileDataLayer\Database.

Did you also try changing the system locale? Try the following, if that fails, perhaps try a system restore to a point before you made changes (if the checkpoint is available):

  1. In search tab type "Region" and press enter.
  2. In new window select "Administrative"
  3. then click on "change system locale"
  4. Select the language.

  • It's already English. So that doesn't resolve the issue
