I installed CPU-Z before and it was english. Then discovered winget today. Expecting it will behave close to APT on Debian-based operating systems, I upgraded all of the softwares installed on my machine. One of those is CPU-Z which I previously installed, and was in english.

I tried invoking winget install for the CPU-Z adding the parameter --locale=us-EN but it does not recognize the parameter.

    So what exactly is the question? [The behavior you describe is intended.](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/238). You will have to change the display language of Windows to get CPU-Z installed in English – Ramhound Jun 15 '22 at 09:52
  • @Ramhound I did not used or even installed any chinese language on my Windows 11. I only installed two languages and both are english variants(US and Philippines). Even my Microsoft account is set to en-PH. – eSPiYa Jun 15 '22 at 14:45
  • I don’t know what to say. The language of the package with regards to Winget is exclusively connected to the languages packages installed on Windows. – Ramhound Jun 15 '22 at 15:50
  • @Ramhound it should have been. I installed Windows 11 from scratch instead of upgrading from 10. – eSPiYa Jun 15 '22 at 23:56
  • There is no difference between a clean installation and an upgrade install except for a single registry key and the fact you keep your files. Other than those two differences they are identical. – Ramhound Jun 16 '22 at 01:14

I uninstalled the application through the Control Panel and tried to reinstall it through winget using this command winget install --id=CPUID.CPU-Z -e, and it worked.
