Settings only works in English

[whisdol]

Hi,

I'm using a Surface Pro 4 with an external webcam ("USB2.0 FHD UVC WebCam") that is integrated into my display (Philips 499P9H). The camera works fine for Windows Hello on another laptop (Lenovo T470) without a built-in Hello camera. After installing the HelloSwitcher tool, the settings app recognizes three cameras, but does not show their names:

I can switch between Built-in Camera/USB Camera and "Apply", but these settings are reset after opening the Settings again.

Update: If I change my default language to English (US) (from German), the device names are displayed and the settings stick.

Thank you for reporting. This is caused by parsing the outputs of PnPUtil. I have not noticed but under some culture settings of the OS, PnPUtil will produce language-specific outputs even if the code page is set to en-US.

I tested some cultures and found that the outputs will be:

• Language-specific: de-DE, fr-FR, es-ES, it-IT PnPUtil_de-DE.txt PnPUtil_fr-FR.txt PnPUtil_es-ES.txt PnPUtil_it-IT.txt

• English: ja-JP, ru-RU, zh-Hans, zh-Hant, kr-KR

I will make some modifications to parse language-specific outputs.
