Is there a way to remove all chinese from Windows?

[TecKnight]

Jsizzle,
Boot into Windows and go to Control Panel-> Language -> Advanced Settings
Under Override for Windows Display Language, set it to English (United States)
Under Override for default input method, set it to English (United States) – US
Save your changes.
Once I made this change, the only chinese I see in Windows is my Office 365, which I am pretty sure I must have messed up.
There are still a couple of hard coded dialogs that are in chinese, such as the OS selector dialog, but my Windows updates are always in english.
Good luck !!

Thanks Randy!

That took care of several of the problems and then got me looking in the right direction. I then backed up a level out of Language and went to Region. From there I selected Change Location, then went to Administrative and hit Change System Locale, then clicked Copy Settings and in the bottom of that window selected the two check boxes under “Copy Your current settings to:”. Once I did that and what you said, everything is in US English. Thanks for the assist!

Yes, now I remember setting locale as well. In my case, I was in full emergency mode as all of my windows had turned chinese. I had to use my laptop to guide me to the right menu items. In any event, I am glad you are working now.
