  1. Microsoft Store - Incorrect Region


    Hi!I have a problem with my Microsoft store, currently it displays USD instead of AED. Both my Windows region is set in the United Arab Emirates, as well as my Microsoft Account which was created in the United Arab Emirates.What is the problem then? My Microsoft store still shows USD, even if I visit AE domains, it still shows USD instead of AED.

    :)

  2. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

    Microsoft Store - Incorrect Region

    Websites consistently default to incorrect region/language

    "There could be several reasons why websites consistently default to an incorrect region or language. Here are a few possible causes:

    IP Address: Websites often use your IP address to determine your approximate location. If your IP address is not accurately mapped to your actual region, it can lead to incorrect default settings.

    Browser Settings: Some browsers have settings that allow you to specify your preferred language or region. If these settings are not configured correctly, websites may default to a different language or region.

    Cookies: Websites may store information in cookies, including language or region preferences. If the cookies are corrupted or outdated, it can result in incorrect default settings.

    Website Configuration: The website itself may have incorrect or outdated configuration settings that determine the default language or region. This could be due to technical issues or improper setup.

    Geolocation Services: Websites often use third-party geolocation services to determine the user's location. If these services provide inaccurate information, it can lead to incorrect defaults.

    Cache Issues: Cached versions of websites may contain outdated or incorrect information about your language or region preferences. Clearing your browser cache can sometimes resolve this problem.

    If you're experiencing this issue, you can try the following steps to troubleshoot:

    Check your browser settings and ensure that your preferred language and region are correctly configured.

    Clear your browser cookies and cache to eliminate any outdated or corrupted data.

    Consider using a virtual private network (VPN) to obtain an IP address from the desired region.

    Contact the website's support team and inform them about the issue. They may be able to assist you or provide insight into any known problems with their default settings.

    Remember that some websites may not offer the option to change the default language or region, in which case you may need to rely on workarounds like using translation tools or accessing alternative versions of the website if available."


    maybe ask your service provider to check their side (with the IP)
