Problem with UI Culture

[Robert Johnsson]

In my organisation we have identified a problem when trying to identify the current UI language.

In powershell you can use $PSUICulture ( from some version ) or Get-UICulture to identify the language of the UI. This is true if it run by a user or admin of the computer. If the same variable or command is used by SYSTEM you get something else.

This is the setup:

1. Refimage installed with en-US 1903 iso, installed languge pack sv-se (from language-iso)
2. Deployed using unattend.xml and settings of:
   1. <InputLocale>041d:0000041d</InputLocale>
   2. <SystemLocale>sv-SE</SystemLocale>
   3. <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage>
   4. <UserLocale>sv-SE</UserLocale>
3. Logged in as the user the windows UI is presented in english and everything looks good
   1. Run powershell.exe as regular user and run "Write-Host $PSUICulture" which returns "en-US"
   2. Run powershell.exe as SYSTEM and run "Write-Host $PSUICulture" which returns "sv-SE"

output from dism:

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.18362.1

Is there something wrong with my configuration or is the command simply returning the wrong value?
