Note that this is a system-wide setting and may break non-Unicode applications that assume Windows is on the default locale (some variant of Western European, usually). Use 'Change system locale.' to change them to match. It's in the same place as it was in Windows 7, but a bit harder to get to.įirst, we need to open the old Region control panel applet.
I suspect it's down to the setting for system locale, which applies to non-Unicode applications.
