Windows 10 Home Edition 64bit Encoding problems
I have this problem with Windows 10 Home edition. When I open some basic text file, .srt or .txt for example, it has different encoding than it has when it was saved. It looks like I have wrong default encoding set in Windows because I need to change manually encoding of these files and then I can repair saved data. For example "ě" was saved in the file as "?", "č" as "è", etc.
I tried to change OS language - didn't help.
Looking through options in Chrome was useless as well - I have no problem while browsing. Downloading text files with IE, Opera or Firefox brought same results.
I am downloading them manually from site dedicated to making subtitles movies and series.
When I downloaded text file on different computer the czech symbols were fine. Sending downloaded file through mail, Facebook or transferring it via flash disk changed Czech symbol into gibberish. Even compressed text file was changed when I opened it.
Creating files in Notepad or Notepad++ are also encoded in coding that does not support Czech.
I have no clue how to fix this problem. Also, I don't want to reinstall OS if possible.
