    Maybe something is different on the laptop. Have you tried adding a pause after each for?

    Post the output of bla.cmd on the laptop.

    Hm i added some pause but not after every for :p

    Illl also reinstall 7 on it..

    Edit:

    I addded
    echo pause 1 and pause after "call dec2hex %%a )"

    then echo pause 2 and pause after second for [dism online/...... !pkg! ) ) ) ]
    Seems like the script jumps directly to echch pause 3 which is right before ":Dec2hex"

    Hope you know what i mean :p

    There are only 3 main for loops.
    Select the target, Search for target and Destroy the target

    yep i know..

    I ran the big script on my computer (where i removed zh-tw already) and it did the same as on my laptop.
    Seems like it shuts down if it cant find any languagepack besides the one in use(?) but i dont understand why it does that on my laptop:/..

    But the script should pause at the end if it does not find any additional language packs.

    How could that be? Try this

    dism /Online /Get-Packages|more

    press space for next screen and CTRL+C to break out of the command

    The first output of the above command will be the installed language pack.

    Are you sure they are other additional language packs? The script works correctly if there is an additional language installed. It worked for you once on your desktop. Please give the output of bla.cmd on your laptop. Something has to be different on that laptop which I may have overlooked.

    You mean this command does not work

    Code:
    for /f "tokens=2,* delims=:" %A in ('"dism /Online /Get-Packages|find "LanguagePack""') do @for /f "tokens=4 delims=~" %a in ("%A") do echo %a
    
    This is an important step, since the output of this command is used to compare with the locale variable. If you tried it in a batch file you need to add an additional % to %A and %a.

    For confirmation before deletion of a language pack add something like
    Code:
    for /f "tokens=2,* delims=:" %%A in ('"dism /Online /Get-Packages|find "LanguagePack""') do (
    for /f "tokens=4 delims=~" %%a in ("%%A") do (
    if NOT %locale%==%%a (
    set /p confirm=Do you want to remove %%a?
    if /i %confirm%==y (
    set pkg=%%A
    set pkg=!pkg: =!
    dism /online /Remove-Package /PackageName:!pkg!
    ) ELSE ( 
    echo %%a will not be removed
    )
    )
    )
    )

    You need to replace the 3rd for loop.

    Will try that..

    replace
    Code:
    for /f "tokens=2,* delims=:" %%A in ('"dism /Online /Get-Packages|find "LanguagePack""') do (
    for /f "tokens=4 delims=~" %%a in ("%%A") do (
    if NOT %locale%==%%a (
    set pkg=%%A
    set pkg=!pkg: =!
    dism /online /Remove-Package /PackageName:!pkg!
    )
    )
    )
    
    with
    Code:
    for /f "tokens=2,* delims=:" %%A in ('"dism /Online /Get-Packages|find "LanguagePack""') do (
    for /f "tokens=4 delims=~" %%a in ("%%A") do (
    if NOT %locale%==%%a (
    set /p confirm=Do you want to remove %%a?
    if /i %confirm%==y (
    set pkg=%%A
    set pkg=!pkg: =!
    dism /online /Remove-Package /PackageName:!pkg!
    ) ELSE ( 
    echo %%a will not be removed
    )
    )
    )
    )
    
    Correct?

    Yes, that is correct
    What about the output of the first code snippet? Does it list the installed languages?

    Code:
    for /f "tokens=2,* delims=:" %A in ('"dism /Online /Get-Packages|find "LanguagePack""') do @for /f "tokens=4 delims=~" %a in ("%A") do echo %a
