Hi,

I tried to remove and redownload the language pack. However it did not work. I am asking for the display language rather than input methods.

Thanks,

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I suggest you to Change settings that may block installation

There are advanced language settings that may block the download of language packs. To revert these settings to their defaults values so that you can download language packs, follow these steps:

1. Open Control Panel. To do this, type Control Panel in the Search box, and then tap or click Control Panel in the search results list.

2. Tap or click Clock, Language and Region. (If you are viewing Control Panel in icon display, select Language, and then go to step 4.)

3. Tap or click Language.

4. Tap or click Advanced settings.

5. Examine the Override for Windows display language and Override for default input method lists. Make sure that the Use language list (recommended) option is selected for both lists

Hi,

Thanks for reply.

I did exactly as you suggested. On the "Region& language" panel, I have Chinese and English languages, and I also have the same language list on the Control>Clock,Language, and Region >Language panel. 

However, under  Control>Clock, Language, and Region >Language panel>Advanced settings, there is no Chinese language option shown under the drop-down list for Override for windows display language. I think that is why I can not change the display language. But, it has the Chinese language under the drop-down list for Override for default input method.
