Hi everybody,

I bought a new notebook a couple of weeks ago and set it up as usual, off course in my native language.

About a week after that, after installing everything i needed (it took about 2 full days.. i need quite a lot of stuff and it has an HDD just to slow things down) i figured: why don't i just use english. It will be easier for troubleshooting too!
So i downloaded the language pack and set everything up and now almost everything is perfect.
I don't like cortana so i just use the "ask me anything" thingy. It's very useful but now suggestion such as "mouse", "updates" and everything else are in italian nad when i click they don't do anything.

I should probably say that the system language and everything is now in english except for the keyboard.. the physical layout is in italian so of course i'm using the standard italian layout for that.

 

It' really annoying because instead of just writing stuff like "update" and press enter i have to go through all the settings.
Strange thing: if i type "settings" it suggests the correct one in english and lets me open it.

 

Do you guys have any idea how to fix it? Sorry for the broken english.

No, everything is in english except for the keyboard layout for obvious reasons. I don't want cortana, i just want the same thing you can see in the first image, but working.

I'll attach a couple of examples:

This is what it looks like when i type "mouse", but as i said in the op if i click on it or press enter it doesn't do anything

And this is the menù i would like to open. You can see that it's in english

I think i fixed it.

When i went to:

Control Panel -> Clock, Language, and Region -> Change Location -> Administrative -> Copy settings.. 

Current user and Welcome screen reported correctly English(United States) everywhere (except for Input language which displays English(United States) - Italian), but the new user account displayed Italian everywhere. I just checked New user accounts and pressed ok and now seems ro work just fine!


It sounds stupid to me that i had to force new accounts into english in order to obtain such a simple thing but ok.. Now it works.

Sorry for the self-fixed/replied topic. I hope it can be useful to someone else.
