Chinese Windows 7 Under the English Startup Menu Problem Solving

Many users may have encountered such problems, even on computers with Chinese version of Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 or Microsoft Windows 7. When calling the relevant menu option of the Windows Boot Manager, it is found that the language of the menu option is displayed in English or other language that does not match expectations. These menu items include the selection menu of the operating system to be started (if multiple Windows operating systems are installed, the user will be asked which operating system menu to start), and the F8 advanced boot menu of a specific operating system (for selecting this operation) Whether the system starts in a special mode such as safe mode, last correct configuration, etc.), Windows Memory Diagnostic menu.

The display language of the Boot Manager related menus is stored in the BCD Boot Configuration Data. When Windows starts, the Boot Manager first reads the language version information of the Boot Manager related menu from the BCD, and then calls C:BOOTMGR and the corresponding language BOOTMGR.EXE.MUI to form the startup menu of the corresponding language. For example, suppose the BCD records that the display language of the Boot Manager related menu should be Simplified Chinese, then Windows will call C:BOOTMGR and C:BOOTzh-cn BOOTMGR.EXE.MUI file to form the Simplified Chinese Boot Manager menu.
