Why is my Microsoft edge location defaulting to China?

This has been a problem with edge on pc and android. Microsoft tech community forum has a discussion on it but it still has not been resolved. Been getting worse. Will randomly pull up other languages no matter what search engine is used. Only happens on the edge browser randomly. Bing does the same thing even with correct region and language. Something with an experimental flag is causing issues. Does it on regular edge version and dev version. The only way to fix it is to uninstall and reinstall everytime it happens.

Yogesh -

It's opening in Chinese because the Bing Search URL has the Chinese language code CN in front of it. Try removing it to see what happens.

It doesn't appear to be an Edge problem because it's opening in Chinese here in Firefox.

open this directly on edge

Hello Yogesh. I'm Greg, here to help you with this.

Can I see examples of Edge opening displaying Chinese? Is it the browser itself and webpages, or both?

For Edge displaying the wrong language see here:

Use Microsoft Edge in another language - Microsoft Support

The new Edge(release) is displaying only in Chinese - Microsoft Community Hub

Windows 10 - and now 11 - have always had location problems. Many wonder why Google maps from a browser has near-pinpoint accuracy but Windows System doesn't. This is explained best here.
