Windows 10: Setting Language for Menus and local (keyboard, time forma) different?

What I aim for is to set the language of my computer to English (so that all menus/erorrs/ helps is English) but to support for other things another local.

• the time should have a different time zone. (UTC+1)
• time format displayed should be iso (24:00, not with AM/PM)
• date format displayed in an iso format (2021-02-04 or 04.02.2021 (not with flipped month 02/04/21))
• the Keyboard layout should be de-DE (German)

But still the menu should be in English.

Is there a way to archive that (during clean install or later on)?

KR,
Max
