Windows Update is in English on Swedish Laptop

**bookie32** · August 25, 2011

Hi folks

A customer has come to me with an Advent 1015 nordic laptop....I have been looking at upgrading memory for him and checking updates etc....

When I click on Windows Update it opens a window that is entirely in English, but everything else is in Swedish?

It is a computer line that is bought in by a local superstore....crap is my opinion...but there you go...

Why would Updtate be in English?

Can I change this?

Never had one of these before

Any thoughs would be gratefully received.....

Thanks!

You should check Regional and Language Options in Control Panel. Is everything there set to Sweden/Swedish?

Hi tomasz86

Yep, I have checked that.....

maybe some MUIs are replaced. Run sfc /scannow to detect and fix corrupted files.

When you say Windows Update, do you mean the website is in English?

Also, if this notebook connected to the internet via a Swedish ISP?

Try (re)installing the latest Windows Update Agent, here is v7.4.7600.229 from KB982010
