My system was originally a Windows Vista Chinese version, and recently I installed Windows 7 RC English version in dual-system mode. In this way, the selection menu of the original boot operating system, F8 advanced boot menu, and Windows Memory diagnostic tool menu are changed to English.
Cause analysis:
The Display language of the relevant menu of Boot Manager is stored in the Boot Configuration Data database of BCD. When Windows is started, Boot Manager first reads the language version information of the menu related to Boot Manager from BCD, and then calls C: \ BOOTMGR and BOOTMGR in the corresponding language. EXE. MUI makes up the Startup menu of the corresponding language. For example, if BCD records that the display language of Boot Manager menus should be simplified Chinese, Windows will call C: \ BOOTMGR and C: \ BOOT \ zh-cn \ BOOTMGR. EXE. MUI file to form the Boot Manager menu in simplified Chinese.
If the menu language information recorded in BCD is incorrectly set, the language of the menu related to Boot Manager may be inconsistent with the expected language. For example, if you have installed the Chinese version of Windows and the English version of Windows to form a dual-system coexistence, the menu language information recorded by BCD will be subject to the last installed English version.
Note: Boot Manager can set language information for the operating system to be started, F8 Advanced Startup menu for a specific operating system, and Windows Memory diagnostic tool menu, therefore, you may encounter a problem where one or more of the three menus do not match the expected language.
Troubleshooting:
You can open the CMD command prompt as Administrator (right-click the shortcut of the command prompt and choose run as administrator from the shortcut menu. You need to confirm the UAC Security Prompt ), enter and execute the following command:
BCDEDIT-SET {BOOTMGR} LOCALE ZH-CN
(This command will change the selection menu of the operating system to be started, that is, the display language of the selection menu of the operating system to be started when multiple operating systems coexist)
BCDEDIT-SET {CURRENT} LOCALE ZH-CN
(This command will change the Display language of the F8 Advanced Startup menu of the selected Windows operating system to simplified Chinese)
BCDEDIT-SET {MEMDIAG} LOCALE ZH-CN
(This command will change the Display language of the Windows Memory diagnostic tool to simplified Chinese)
Finally, you can enter and execute the BCDEDIT/enum all command as administrator to check whether the LOCALE value of the above project has been successfully modified to ZH-CH Simplified Chinese.
