Windows 10: How to set default Windows display language for all users in Windows 11

Hello,I have Windows 11 mutli-session as part of AVD in Azure. I have added the language pack as explained in:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/windows-11-language-packsIs there a command line PowerShell command to set the default Windows display language to all users ?Right now, users must go to Language & region in Settings to change it by themselves. and I would like to set the default language for them all, and they can change it later if needed.Thanks,Bachar

Windows 8.1 update changed the language, can't change back

Maybe, these will help... it seems it is a common enough problem.

Language packs are no longer available after you upgrade to Windows 8.1

And, sort of the same here --> Add a language or keyboard

Quote from above MS web page:

Spoiler Download and install language packs
You'll need to download the language pack if you want to make a language your Windows display language (that's the language you see most often in Windows and apps).

• Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
  (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
• Tap or click Time and language, and then tap or click Region and language.
• Tap or click a language that says Language pack available underneath, and then tap or click Options.
• Tap or click Download. The download process might take a while, depending on your PC and the size of the language pack.
  If you want to make this your display language, see the next section "Change your Windows display language".

Change your Windows display language
To change your Windows display language (that's the language you see most often in Windows and apps), first add a language, download and install the language pack, and then follow these steps.

• Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
  (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
• Tap or click Time and language, and then tap or click Region and language.
• Tap or click the language that you want to set as your display language.
• Tap or click Set as primary to move the language to the top of the list. If the language can become your Windows display language, you'll see Will be display language after next sign-in appear under the language.
• Sign out and then sign back in to finish.

Mismatch of Display Language Settings - Windows 10

Hi Medali,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.



Ideally, when a language pack is set as default, all the features within the operating system should display in the same language. Seems like some settings are missing, let’s reset the default display language and see if it works for you.



I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if the issue resolves:

• Right click the Windows icon on the taskbar and choose
  Windows PowerShell (admin).
  
• Run the following command and hit enter:
  
  $1 = New-WinUserLanguageList en-US
  
• Once the command is executed, copy paste the following command and hit enter:
  
  Set-WinUserLanguageList $1
  
• Press ‘Y’ and hit Enter if it prompts for confirmation.
  
• Exit PowerShell and reboot the machine to see if the issue persists.
  

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,

 

How do you change Word 2016's Display language?

(Note that I am referring to the Display language, not the keyboard language.)

I have configured the default language in a Windows 10 Pro user profile to Spanish (Mexico). It's working fine. All Start menu text is in Spanish and even Chrome displays everything in Spanish.

But when I run Word 2016 all of its menus are in English. In Word Options > Language the editing language is set to default to Spanish (Mexico). Under "Choose Display and Help Languages" the default is "Match Microsoft Windows," which suggests to me that all Word menus should be in Spanish, just like Chrome and Windows are doing. A second, greyed out choice is English.

The very last sentence on this Options page is says, "View display languages installed for each Microsoft Office program. Click on it and a table appears. Word and Outlook are listed. Under the "Office Display Language" is English for both. Nothing appears in the "Other Display Languages". I see no option to add another display language.

Earlier versions of Office had downloadable Language packs but I can't find one for Office 2016, not even in the volume license downloads.

I've tried this on two W10Pro Ofc2016 computers and get the same results in both. What step or trick am I missing?
