Thanks Derek, I changed the OS language back to English and restarted the computer, several times. This did not change the language back to English.
Windows Defender Controlled Folder Access blocked GnuCash from making changes to the data file. At first, it even blocked adding a new transaction. I turned off the controlled folder access feature. I read the instructions at the link. The version of GnuCash I have installed is 2.6.18. I tried to follow the instructions to edit the environment file at c:\\Program Files\gnucash\etc\gnucash. But I don't have an editor for that type of file or an option to open it as administrator. So, I'm not sure what to do with that. Might it work to uninstall and reinstall the program? Does the uninstall remove the data files? I have a backup, just a matter of making sure it is up to date.

It even changed the primary currency to the Mexican peso. GnuCash uses the system locale to choose its display/menu language. You will need to change the OS language back to English -- or you will need to specifically reconfigured GnuCash to run in English.
