Even when selecting 3DS Max - English, doing a repair, a full reinstall as well, it's still opening in a language I assume to be Korean. Anything I can do about this?

How to change the language of 3ds Max
Here is another thought:
You can CHECK /or/ assign a language option to the startup shortcut, just look at the menu properties ( right mouse button on the start menu entries )
eg. to launch the English version the shortcut should look something like
...\3dsmax.exe /Language=ENU
french would be /Language=FRA etc...
Note also: ( It would be interesting to check this ) from the Windows registry - Mine is as follows:
When you use one of these 'language' options the currently used language is stored in the registry:HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Autodesk[]>3dsMax[]>18.0[]>CurrentLanguage=ENU
Also It would be interesting to check the "3DSMax.ini" file and see if / what directory's they are pointing to
Mine as example all point towards \ENU
PlugCFG=C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2016 - 64bit\ENU\en-US\plugcfg
Additional Scripts=C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2016 - 64bit\ENU\scripts
Additional Macros=C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2016 - 64bit\ENU\usermacros
Additional Startup Scripts=C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2016 - 64bit\ENU\scripts\startup
I'd also check that in the 3DS Max install directory you actually have a folder named \en-US
When I add that to the shortcut target, it just says that it doens't exist.
EDIT: Changing the registry DID work though!
Thanks davidveyhle - mine just spontaneously went all Japanese on me and reverted to defaults.
Got the UI back to normal now with the cmd line switch, just need to work out why Deadline still thinks I'm Japanese and Redshift is suddenly crashing.... 😞
Surely this should have been fixed by now? Just running the trial but second time opening all in Korean and refuses to revert to English. You'll need to do better than this if you want my £2k. I shouldn't have to be going into the bowels of the programming to do this!
