    Hey, everyone! We are aware of this issue. Uninstalling and trying again has resolved this for some users, however not everyone. We're working hard to resolve this! You should be able to change your language settings if you go to the gear icon in the ellipses menu for Settings, clicking on the Language option with the below icon, and then clicking the button at the top there to Add languages. You can search for English (or whatever your preferred language is) and should be set!

     

     

    I'll provide updates as I have them. Thanks so much for installing Stable and providing this feedback!

    turns out the browser was running in the background, I was able to uninstall it eventually. 

    but running the installer again gave the same results.

    it installs in a wrong, foreign language, there is no language option in the installer, can't use it.
