Chinese calendar in Taskbar
I do not have the Chinese language installed on my English Windows 10, but the calendar in the task bar shows Chinese. All the instructions I find on the web follow this procedure to fix it:
- Press Windows “start” button.
- Select Settings .
- Select Time & language.
- Under Date & time, select Additional date, time, & regional settings.
- On the next window, select Language.
- On the left side of the window, select Change date, time, or number formats.
- Another window will pop up. Under Formats tab, click the drop-down arrow for Format.
- Select the desired language.
- Click OK.
The problem is, when I select Additional date, time, & regional settings in step 4, there IS NO Language on the next window, just what is shows in the attachment.
Any ideas how to fix this?
- Try this
Go to Start > Settings > Time & Language > Date & Time. On the right side, scroll down to "Show additional calendar in taskbar". Make sure it is set to "Don't show additional calendar."
I hope it helps you 🙂

I hope it helps you 🙂Thanks, that did the trick. It seems that I had foolishly forgotten to scroll UP, where I could opt to exclude "other calendars."
- I'm glad it worked for you 🙂
Hello JimWH,
I recommend you to manually install Chinese language as mentioned in FIX 2 here:

Let me know if this helps!

- I may not have been crystal clear. I want to GET RID OF THE CHINESE IN THE CALENDAR, not add it to my input languages.
Feel your frustration.
Left-click anywhere on your tray that's empty to get "cursor clear (in case you have multiple monitors)
Click Win Key + Space bar.
My 2 came up
US and UK ENG
And some random Chinese name. Where that came from ???
Sorted. Gone.
