Change default 5 languages Studio 2017

Question

Looks like with every minor update (I already had installed 2017SR1) Studio asks again to enter the 5 default languages. This time I forgot to enter my mother tongue, how do I fix this?

Update re Studio Freelance 2019 :

Reinstalling or resetting Studio Freelance no longer gives you the opportunity to reset your 5 languages. 
 
 It is, however, possible to reset the entry in the computer Registry to do this. 
 
 You can either do it yourself, or contact Installation Help to ask them to do it...

IF AND ONLY IF you feel confident about editing the registry, here are instructions. 
 
 Follow them precisely because editing the registry is a risky business... 
 
 Editing registry to remove 5 languages from Studio Freelance version (NB not necessary with Studio Professional) 
 Close all SDL products. 
 In your 'Type here to search' window at bottom left of your screen, type 'regedit'. 
 Open the Registry Editor. 
 Either search manually: 
 The actual address is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\LDSRClient5 
 Or click on 'Edit > Find' or use Ctrl+F

In the box that appears, type 'LDSRClient5' for Studio 2017 then hit 'Find' (it would be 'LDSRClient15' for Studio 2019 -1,2,3or4 for earlier versions) 
 The search will take a while as the registry is very long and very complex:

When the registry key appears, right-click on it and select 'rename'. 
 Add 'old' to the end of the LDSRClient5 name. 
 Close the registry. 
 Open Studio and you should find that it prompts you to add your 5 languages again. Note that you don't need to add more than one variant of any language as all other variants of that language will work once it has been added. 
 Only do this if you feel confident enough to change your PC registry. If not, contact installation support here: 
 Installation support 
 Fill out the form, tick 'Installation' on the Case Type dropdown menu, explain your problem, quote this post as they may not know how to do the above, and give them an accurate email address to contact you on and they can access your computer to change that setting for you. 
 All the best, 
 Ali

You can also just run a repair installation through the windows control panel... also faster than uninstalling and reinstalling.

Hi Spiros Doikas , 
 This is where you run a Windows repair from: 
 
 Normally you highlight the program in the list then either click 'Repair' on the top toolbar or right-click on the program and select 'Repair' from the dropdown menu (both methods highlighted in yellow). 
 Does this not happen for you? 
 All the best, 
 Ali
