- According to reports, Windows 11 24h2 has an error where you mix two languages
- After one change from one language to another, the menus end up being shown in both languages
- This seems to be a specific problem for 24h2, although Microsoft’s last (optional) patch may have arranged things
According to the reports, Windows 11 24h2 has another strange mistake and this time the Microsoft operating system is making a language disaster, although there is apparently a solution for the problem available (I will return to that later).
The XDA developers were in the case of highlighting this technical problem, noticing publications in the Reddit and Microsoft support forum, answers.com, which explain the problem by which a Windows 11 installation is mixing two different languages.
What happens according to the various reports is that if a PC executes Windows 11 24h2 and is configured with, for example, Spanish as a language, and then the operating system is changed to English, the interface ends as a mixture of the two languages.
The evidence of screen capture (see below) is provided for a Windows 11 24h2 system that changed from Japanese to English, and the menus are a messy mixture of both (in reality more Japanese, the original language, than English).
Unfortunately, even eliminate the original language of the Windows 11 installation in question does not cure the problem, and the interface remains stubbornly the same, a confusing combination of the two languages.
Apparently, this has been a problem since October 2024, when the 24h2 update was launched for the first time, so in other words, this has been a mistake in the works from the beginning.
There are some system administrators who claim that they face the problem with their 24h2 PC fleet, and some devices are affected, while others do not, without an apparent rhyme or reason on which systems are beaten. (Even computers with exactly the same hardware are being affected in one case, and not in another).
What seems to be clear is that the problem does not belong to Windows 11 23h2 machines, but is only a problem for those who update (or clean the installation) of version 24h2 of the operating system.
Has this error been literally solved?
There are some better news between the confusing talk and the scratch of the head on this problem, and that is the revelation in the previous Reddit thread, by the original poster, that the installation of the latest update for Windows 11 apparently cured the problem.
This is the optional patch for Windows 11 24h2 launched earlier this week, which comes with a lot of corrective work for several technical problems in the operating system, and apparently also the solution for this language error. Obviously, take that with some seasoning, but if you have experienced this strange mixture of two languages in the Windows 11 interface, it is likely to install the update of previous view to cure those blue.
Or, if you prefer, you can simply wait until next month, when this previous view will become the complete accumulated update of March for 24h2 users, after it has been put through its final tests (which is for what is the optional update, and the reason why it is optional, since it can still have wrinkles to go, so consider warned).
Windows 11 24h2 Having another mistake will not be so surprise for those who have been following the latest version, which has been beaten by a large number of failures since it emerged for the first time at the end of last year.
