Region selection is important for Windows 11 PC users because some data and applications use locale formatting to adjust their dates and times. When you set the Windows display language, the locale formatting works on the location and language associated with the display language. However, in some special cases, you may want to set a different regional format than the display language.
Next, let’s take a look at how the region format should be changed on a Windows 11 PC.
How to set or change the regional format in Windows 11
Method 1: Set or Change Regional Format through Settings
1. Press Windows + I to open the settings window.
2. Under the Area section, click the Show drop-down menu.
3. Select the appropriate regional format from the list. When you’re done, you can turn off the settings.
Method 2: Set or Change Regional Format through Control Panel
1. Open Run by pressing the Windows + R tabs together on your keyboard. Once opened, type in the Run dialog box and hit.
2. Next, go to the “Format” tab and click on the drop-down menu under “Format”.
3. Now you can select the appropriate regional format from the list given.
4. Once done, click on Apply.
5. Finally, if you no longer need it, close the Control Panel tab.
With the above two methods, you can easily modify the regional format on your Windows 11 PC. Whatever your reason for needing to modify these settings, it’s pretty straightforward.
