Changing System Language on Windows 11 or Windows 10: A Step-by-Step Guide
In this article, we'll guide you through the process of changing and managing language settings on Windows 10 and Windows 11.
If you're looking to disable language preference sync on Windows 10 or Windows 11, you can do so by navigating to the Sync your settings page. Here, you'll find the "Individual sync settings" section, where you should toggle off the "Language preferences" switch. On Windows 11, you may also need to disable the "Remember my preferences" setting and clear the "Language preferences and dictionary" option in the Windows backup page under Accounts settings.
To change the default language on Windows 11, follow these steps: add a new language, select it, and check the "Set as my Windows display language" option. For Windows 10 users, the process is similar, but you should also change the system locale to the new language under the "Administrative language settings" option.
Changing the language settings will cause the Microsoft Store and web browsers to show content based on those settings. However, be aware that altering region settings may also impact the Microsoft Store, potentially blocking access to certain apps and services depending on your location.
If you're in a different region, you'll need to adjust your region settings as well. On Windows 10, select the current location with the "Country or region" drop-down menu, and set the formats for the region's date and time with the "Current format" drop-down menu. On Windows 11, you'll need to choose the current location and correct formats for the new region's date and time, and change the system locale to the new language.
For detailed, step-by-step instructions on changing the default display language in Windows 10, you can refer to the guide provided by Windows Central. It includes adding a language, installing the language pack, setting it as display language, and signing out to apply changes.
It's important to note that the instructions have been updated to reflect changes in the latest versions of both operating systems. Both Windows 10 and Windows 11 users can change their system language settings without reinstalling the operating system.
Lastly, remember to sign out and sign back in after changing the language settings to start using the new language. For more information about Windows 10 and Windows 11, you can visit the website's resources on those operating systems.
