    My account is somehow region locked


    I lived in Israel and moved to Sweden last year. The moment I signed in on my new computer, all links started defaulting to Hebrew. I don't even speak it well so half the time trying to figure out how to change the language back leaves me frustrated and irritated.General info:Have been living in Sweden for a year.This is a brand new PC bought in Denmark, activated in Sweden. I allowed my PC to sync during Windows setup.Things I have done:Changed the country, address and language preferences in "Your info" and "Address book" in my Microsoft account settings.Turned on my PC’s location.Set Sweden

    :)

  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.

    My account is somehow region locked

    Removing DVD region lock

    take a look at AnyDVD by Slysoft (think it used to be called DVDFab decrypter). My guess is that most decryption software will handle region locks but I haven't run into that problem in a very long time.
