Store apps not updated to selected language (azure image builder)

[j0eyv]

We're creating AVD SessionHost images in native languages (Dutch, nl-NL), and overall, the process works well—except for the Store apps. These apps, such as Notepad and Calculator, retain their English names, and their menus and context options also remain in English.

After deploying the SessionHosts, we have to manually log into each machine, set correct region/language settings, open the Microsoft Store, and check for updates. Only after this step do the apps update to Dutch. This should be possible within the Azure Image Builder process while setting the language via Set-DefaultLang.ps1 so it gets applied to all users on new sessionhosts.

Note: Problem does only exist on Multi Session OS (W11. Have not tested W10). For Single session there is no issue because there are native language OS'es available.
