Hi @Mitalihalder 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

It sounds like your laptop is stubbornly sticking to Polish despite your efforts to change the language settings. Let’s troubleshoot this step by step to get everything displaying in English:

Step 1: Install the English Language Pack

1. Press Win + I to open Settings.
2. Navigate to Time & Language > Language & Region.
3. Under Preferred languages, click Add a language and search for English (United States).
4. Select it, click Next, and ensure all language features (like display language and speech) are checked before clicking Install.

Step 2: Set English as the Display Language

1. In the same Language & Region settings, select English (United States) from the Windows display language dropdown menu.
2. Restart your laptop to apply the changes.

Step 3: Change System Locale

1. Press Win + R, type control, and press Enter to open the Control Panel.
2. Go to Clock and Region > Region > Administrative tab.
3. Click Change system locale and select English (United States).
4. Restart your laptop.

Step 4: Remove Polish Language (Optional)

1. In Language & Region settings, click the three dots next to Polish under Preferred languages and select Remove.
2. Restart your laptop to ensure Polish is no longer interfering.

Step 5: Check Keyboard Input

1. In Language & Region settings, scroll down to Input and ensure the keyboard layout is set to English (United States).
2. If Polish is listed, remove it.

Step 6: Verify Windows Version

If your laptop came with a Windows Single Language Edition, you might need to upgrade your Windows license to install additional language packs. Check your Windows version by pressing Win + R, typing winver, and pressing Enter.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, let me know, and we’ll dig deeper. You’ve got this! 😊
