Hello! My name is Marco, I am an Independent Advisor. I will do my best to help you.

Under 'preferred languages' you put 'english denmark' as 'default app language' ... you have to delete it and leave only 'united states'

Same thing for 'regionnal format' puts united states.

Answer 5

Thank you Greg.

Guess I have to live with the local language.

Another place where Microsoft is a decade behind the ball. Language locked to region so that Canada has to have 2 regional stores and if you live in the states you aren't allowed to prefer Spanish.

Also. The store being a native windows app it is strange that it doesn't use the default app language. At least for menus and such.
