CountryOrRegionID (Standard 8 Module Reference)

Review the applicable Embedded Core modules and any examples for the CountryOrRegionID setting in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).

This setting specifies the region code for a region that, when selected, displays a set of region-specific apps on the Start and Lock screens.

The user can select a region during Windows Welcome, or you can specify a region by using UserLocale settings in International-Core. If a region is selected, the following occurs:

  • If the selected region matches a region in RegionalOverrides, then the system displays the apps from that override.
  • If the selected region does not match any of these regions, then Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8) displays the apps from StartTiles for WideTiles, SquareTiles, and LockScreen.

For more information, see Tiles Overview.
