Can't seem to purge Polish from my Lenovo Laptop

I have tried download and subsequently deleting the standard Polish language pack, and while it does get rid of the "Polish" Polish, there remains a Polish United States-International language, as seen on the screenshots, which doesn't correspond to any language pack I can find online, so I can't download and delete this one. It's a problem, seeing as I, despite having selected English as my system language, keep seeing Polish pop up in various places (again, as seen in the the screenshots attatched). The "welcome" messages upon booting up are also alwaysd on Polish. How do I get this language out of my system alltogether?

I have the same issue, but with German. Perhaps there's an easier way than @Kari's thread on Windows 10.

Perhaps there's an easier way than @Kari's thread on Windows 10.
As knowledgeable and efficient as Kari is, I promise you if there was an easier way to get rid of a language pack that did not completely uninstall, he would have said so...or someone else would have.

My question is which of these methods did you use to remove Polish in the first place? I would have used the powershell method myself to make sure the language was completely gone.


As an option you might take a look at this article from Microsoft to see if there is anything there you haven't tried. Manage the input and display language settings in Windows

I think this article will answer the question of why the language changes in some apps. FIX: Windows 10 Changes the Input Language to its Own. (Solved) - wintips.org - Windows Tips & How-tos
