SOLVED Language Display Problem

[b800047]

I have a Lenovo-brand laptop already upgraded to Windows 10 when it was bought and I have 3 languages installed in it, English being my default, Japanese being my 2nd, and Spanish being my 3rd, but whenever I get a text file or a program in the 2nd or 3rd language, my laptop doesn't seem to recognize it's own languages, even if that language is in it's DEFAULT display, like this uƒIƒiƒbŽq‚¨¢˜bŒW‚ä‚¢‚½‚ñv1.00v‚ð (this was supposed to be in Japanese original display so don't ask)...any ideas or any fixes in the language updates, I would appreciate it...

P.S. I also have a HP-brand laptop that was Windows 8 before upgrading to 10 and same thing, 3 languages installed but the problem with that one was that it would mix the English and Japanese display such as the START menu and the right-click menu. It can translate a text file or a program if was if one of the other 2 languages but the display didn't bother me none.

Welcome aboard to both of you.

My home network is a blend of English and Spanish. Fortunately, I am able to get along. It seems that Windows puts out Single Language Editions and they can really confuse things.
