Hi Folks,
  Just trying to resolve a couple of Windows 8.1 issues

I use Bing translate quite a  bit and had a number of additional languages installed (NZ, Japanese, French and UK English - in that order) on my surface pro. When I go to the start menu, the left column of icons is in English, the centre column is in Japanese and the right column is in French.   I have tried uninstalling the languages, but it remains rather odd. Have checked every language setting I can find  and everything is set to NZ (also normal desktop is fine).

Next one is in IE11 I am getting a 'Lync Browser Helper' is incompatible message from time to time - it is a plugin and I do not seem to be able to uninstall it.  I have never had Lync installed on the machine.

Finally, I am trying to copy some large files (4+gb) that have duplicate filenames.  8.1 now doesn't check for the duplicate until the second file starts to copy which means I don't see the dialog asking what to do until several hours later - apparently this is considered an improvement.  I am wondering if there is a registry setting that I can implement which forces it to always copy both files (and sort out the duplicate name - as if I select both checkboxes).   This used to work in Windows 7 just fine.

Also, in the large file copy, sometimes it goes to sleep half way through and I need to reboot (as the target file remains locked).  Am wondering if anyone else has been encountering this.

Regards
TwoSeven.
