Change DefaultOSDisplayLanguage + Other User Text

[cdwyer]

I have had an absolute nightmare!

 

So, for the last few years I have successfully changed the 'Other User' text on the login screen to something more fitting for my workplace.

 

I have built a new Windows 10 image and deployed it and was presented with the option to set the Display Language (which I do not normally see when imaging)

 

Instinctively I have set en-GB on most of the machines, but I noticed the 'Other User' text would not replace with my edited file (credprovhost file) (I created one for both the en-GB and en-US folders in System32 so should have covered both Display Languages)

 

I accidentally selected en-US on one of the imaged machines and low and behold, 'Other User' was replaced with my edited string. Tried on a few more and yep, carries on working!

 

SO now i'm stuck. I can't find a way to change the default display language globally (tried a script and it didn't work) and I can't get text to change when using en-GB as the display language (even though the string has changed when I check it with a hex editor!)

 

My question is, has anyone else successfully resolved this issue? does anyone know if I am missing something? Windows can't be using the credprovhost.dll.mui file within en-GB because I have replaced it and the string still shows, so it must be pulling it from somewhere else!

 

I hope this made sense and I would REALLY appreciate any help.

 

Thank you!
