Windows 10: Region settings: Unable to set default language!

Hi,

I get this error when setting my Region settings to English/Netherlands and restart Windows 10.

Error : "Unable to set default language !"

When I put it back to English/US then all is ok.

How can I get my Regio settings to English/Netherlands, which Windows itself gives it as a choice (!?)

Thank

Regards

Kees
