    To change the decimal symbol back to a period, follow these steps:

    • In Control Panel, click Region. Click on Advance settings.
    • Click the Number tab.
    • Change the Decimal Symbol setting to a period (.).

    Windows Calculator decimal separator is always comma

    Hello!

    I have a problem with Windows Calculator's decimal symbol always being a comma.

    I've set my decimal separator in regional settings to be a dot, and it is a dot in other applications I use (like Adobe and Autodesk products). Only Windows Calculator ignores this setting and it remains a comma.

    How do I make Windows Calculator (in Windows 10 now) to use dot instead of a comma?

    Windows phone decimal symbol on the numeric keypad does not match region

    Some regions (like South Africa) use a , (comma) as a decimal symbol instead of a . (period). I personally preferred it when Windows still had it "wrong" and used a . like for the rest of the world, but I digress.

    Anyway, the numeric keypad on WP8.1 only has a . which means that apps that does not explicitly cater for a comma decimal symbol will throw some kind of error. As WP is still an afterthought for most apps it means that it could take months for a fix to be
    made.

    If there was a , on the keypad when in a region that requires it, these things would hopefully just work. Ideally I would like the option to keep the South African regional settings, but only change the decimal symbol back to .
