Windows reinstalled after changing the language?

ch

Moin, we're currently sitting in the library, because we're working on a presentation, with a laptop. Because the laptop was in Arabic and I don't understand Arabic, he wanted to change it to me in German. Then there came a message that he had to restart the PC so that the language was changed.

And now suddenly the PC tries to reinstall Windows, no matter how often we try to restart the PC.

Can someone please help?

The PC will not try to reinstall Window, but rather the required language packs. Just let it go through.

However, other updates that have already been downloaded in the background may also be installed. Just let it install through there.

It looks like a Windows installation, but I'll let it go, thanks.

When I restart the laptop it says "Preparing Automatic Repair": /

This is probably because the laptop was simply restarted during the installation.

Now just let everything install.

Installation is not possible. When the PC restarts there's something like "The PC could not be repaired". Then it says stop or go further. And if you go further, it offers recovery from a backup, but that doesn't work either, you can only turn the laptop off.

Of course, do not know exactly how it is there, but it is roughly so. Was translated by my friend.

Yes, and if it takes over 1 hour, he might do a new installation…

But Windows 10 is very good at getting all files and programs back to what they were before. 😊

You probably installed something broken (or rather switched it off). Now you should get help on site.

R.I.P

Doesn't reinstall, just wants to open windows for reinstallation, then it aborts & opens some error message.

Then I recommend the following: Use the Media Creation Tool to load the ISO from Win 10 onto a USB stick and reinstall Win 10: https://www.microsoft.com/.../windows10
