Windows 10: Regional Format vs. Input Languages

I have a problem with the regional format feature in Windows 10:

Since I want dates to appear in dd/mm/yyyy format, I went to the regional format settings and chose English Israel.

However, that added English Israel as an input language - which is redundant, since the system language is English anyway. This gets annoying when I'm trying to change keyboard language.

When I try to remove this additional input language, the regional format is also removed.


How do I get the regional format without the extra English input?

Changing Time Format

Hi Mary,

There's a possibility that the set up time format in your computer Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is military time. To have this checked, you can try to reset the time of your computer through Control Panel. See the steps below on how to do
so:

• Open Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region >
  Change date, time, or number formats. This would open the
  Region window.
• From there, click on Additional settings at the bottom part. It will open the Customize Format.
• Click Reset; then, OK.

The steps should work; however, if not, we suggest that you contact manufacturer and have the BIOS time checked.

Let us know what happens after doing the suggestions .

 

Language Setting & Regional Format

Hi,



I have set my Country/Region to Netherlands and my Phone language to English (US). I would like to set my Regional format to Netherlands as well (Date and time format as well as the Euro) but it will show the weekdays in Dutch despite the English language
setting. Is this a bug or is this deliberate? Why is the language of the weekdays coupled to the Regional format setting and not to the Phone language which makes more sense. Any plan to change this in coming updates?



Cheers,

Sander
