Just make sure that the display language for the currently logged-in user is the one you want to use everywhere. You also have an option to set the current language as default for new users.
The window that opens lets you copy the current language to the system account, which in turn will cause everything to show up in the language you choose. Any additional languages you have installed will appear in the list. Click the 'Edit Settings' button, then select the appropriate language in the drop-down box next to 'Default language'. On the “Administrative” tab, click the “Copy settings” button. Select General Configuration to open the Administration page. Open Control Panel, switch it to icon view if it isn’t already, and then double-click “Region.” If the computer only has one user account, its display language must have been changed from the default. To get all this to change as well, first make sure you’ve installed at least one additional language pack and that one user account has been set to use a different display language than the default. You can set a different language for each user account.Ĭhange the Language of Welcome Screen and New User AccountsĪpplying a language pack to a user account may not necessarily change the Windows default system language used in Welcome, Sign In, Sign Out, Shutdown screens, Start menu section titles, and the built-in Administrator account.
If you want to change the language of another user account, sign in to that account first. To change the language of the user account you are currently using, return to the “Time & Language” Settings page, select a language, and then click “Set as default.” You’ll see a notification appear under the language that reads, “Will be display language after next sign-in.” Sign out of and back into Windows, and your new display language will be set.
Click “Options” and then click “Download” to download the language pack and keyboard for that language. Click a particular language and you’ll see three options underneath: “Set as default”, “Options”, “Remove”. Back on the “Time & Language” screen, you’ll see any languages you have installed.
