Description

I'm currently using Windows 10 (64bit) have been unable to use the IDE due to issues with the written language on the dropdown menu is in Russian script. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, cleaning the registry between installs, I tried running a previous version to no avail. My language is set at "System Default" and I tried setting it as English, but so far nothing has helped.

Research direction

Reproduce the IDE menu rendering problem on Windows 10 with the reported System Default and English language settings, using the screenshots as the reference symptom. Trace the IDE's language-selection and menu-rendering path; done means the dropdown menus display readable English text rather than only non-US-ASCII Cyrillic characters.
