Windows 10 Display Language Refusing to Change

All right, found a solution.

I downloaded the language pack from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14236/language-packs and installed it with lpksetup.exe which comes with windows. Now my system is fully translated.

    I'm using Windows 10 Professional. When I initially installed it, I chose German, and I want to change the display language to English instead. That includes right-click menus, Explorer, etc.

    I've tried the following settings:

    Under Region and Language, I have removed everything but English (US) and made sure it's set as the default:

    Under Control Panel > Language, it also only says English (US):

    In that same menu, under options, it says that no language pack is available:

    that no language pack is available.

    I have also tried all of the above with English (UK) instead of English (US), didn't work either. I've rebooted between changes to no avail.

    while i have done this as well some time ago, some apps dont start with the default/top most language. Particularly this is the explorer process that hosts the taskbar and the win+r run popup, which is soooo annoying. I have the feeling that they get initialized before the setting is read.
