Quick overview:
In some unexplained cases, the service pack destroyed the Latin language file of Internet Explorer, so that ä,ö,ü and other special characters cannot be displayed.
The service pack changes some registry settings, which we return to you:
Internet Explorer - Restore font
1. Click here to view the Windows Tweaks SP1 Patch to download.
2. As soon as the file has been downloaded, double-click on it and confirm twice with OK.

After a restart, you will have your old language back and Internet Explorer will understand the small German special characters perfectly.
NOTE FOR NEW PUBLICATION: This article was produced by Sandro Villinger and comes from the Windows Tweaks archive, which has been built up since the late 1990s.
Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in 2001, his helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write for international publications such as PC-Praxis, Computerbild, PCWorld in the USA, IMTEST.de and Hifi.de. Sandro's main job is as Global Product Marketing Lead and Consultant for various global tech companies, including Microsoft, AVG, Avast, Nero, TeamViewer, Swiss IT Security Group and now currently in the fintech sector for Gendigital. But he can't get rid of his passion and shares his tweaks here again. Privately, he enjoys traveling the world and loves Asia, especially Japan, Singapore and Korea, but also natural places like Iceland and the Nordics. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
