If Windows was installed without a full language pack, proper locale or the language pack is corrupted it will use the default qaa-latn language code. As this is not a valid configuration certain aspects of Barracuda RMM will not function, this may also affect other applications that utilize the locale. To remove the invalid language ensure that all Windows updates are installed on the client system and that the logged in user is using a valid locale and language pack eg. en-us
This can be checked by looking at the log file C:\Program Files (x86)\Level Platforms\Onsite Manager\Logs\TraceExpertSystem.txt
The log entry of concern is:
