Windows 10: Somewhere the Dutch language/regional setting is hiding

I just installed Windows 10. New install.

I remember setting the the Region to the Netherlands, because I'm used to € and separating digits with a comma instead of a period.

All other language and regional settings are set to United States.


However, all my browsers now redirect corporate websites to the dutch alternative.

I.e. Asus.com -> Asus.com/nl

Microsoft.com -> microsoft.com/nl-nl


I don't want any website to think it's intelligent. I want the English website whenever I type a .com address.


So, here's what I did:

In Region, I set Country to United States

In Region, I set Regional format to English United States

In Language, I set Windows display language to English United States

In Language, I set Preferred Languages to English United States


I also changed all languages to United Kingdom once, rebooted, and changed it back to United States.

I cleared my cookies in Chrome and Edge. And I tried several websites in Incognito/Private Mode.


Guess what: no luck.

Both in Chrome and Edge, I'm still being redirected to the dutch websites.


What am i missing in this case?

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

Hi Dee,

The option to reset the language and region can either be done in the Control Panel or the Settings app. Since you are having issues with the reset option, we would like to ask for additional information to help us provide the appropriate troubleshooting
steps. Please answer the following:

• What build and version of Windows 10 is your PC running on?

We hope to hear from you soon.

 

Language Setting & Regional Format

Great! Love it that the date and time etc. settings go to Dutch - BUT - I speak ENGLISH and want to set my default language to be ENGLISH - not DUTCH......

I have even tried setting my "region" to United Kingdom but that only "holds" until the phone restarts itself.

Simply put: I live in the Netherlands and want my phone to display in English - is that a difficult ask!
