Hello
Ever since updating to the RTM version of Windows 8.1 on every PC I have updated and signed into using my Microsoft account whenever I try to install any 8.1 app I installed onto the developer preview version it will always install in Chinese which makes using the app impossible for me.
This happens on all PCs I have updated/used including:
Surface RT (Windows 8.1 RT)
Surface 2 (Windows 8.1 RT)
Dell OptiPlex 990 (Windows 8.1 Pro)
Dell OptiPlex 790 (Windows 8.1 Pro)
Sony Tap 20" (Windows 8.1 Pro)
The language settings of the Microsoft store and all the computers are all set to UK English and as soon as I do a fresh install of the UK version of Windows 8.1 and sign into my Microsoft account then certain apps will always install in Chinese (when in the store it says you already own this app and can install it on this PC - when I do it is in Chinese. When the app has not been installed before or was not installed when I had the developer preview then it will install in English).
This has been driving me mad for months and I previously posted this question back in October in the Office 2013 forums as I first noticed the issue with the OneNote app but it was never resolved: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/448670ae-4494-4a55-8cee-d9f1c9873db7/onenote-windows-81-app-changed-to-chinese-and-cannot-work-out-how-to-change-to-english?forum=officeitpro#448670ae-4494-4a55-8cee-d9f1c9873db7
I then posted it a few days ago here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-windows_store/windows-81-apps-downloaded-during-developer/5dcd0df7-edfe-420e-8737-6a48922969e1
I have now been asked by a Microsoft Support engineer to post the question here as they said a script can be provided which I can use to fix this.
I think I just need to clear the fact that I have previously installed these apps as maybe some bug in the developer preview set them to Chinese and it seems to remember this setting. I cannot understand any Chinese so this makes these apps unusable.
The only other option I can think of is to create a new Microsoft account but I would rather not have to do this.
Some of the apps affected include the OneNote app and the HP scanner app. I have uninstalled most others and found alternatives.
Thanks
Robin
