NTP has reverted locale

Up until yesterday, my NTP has been set to de-DE, which is my Windows locale. Edge is also set to German. However, the NTP is now suddenly set to en-US, with no way to set it back. Or is there? Does ...

Hi,

Which Edge insider channel and version are you using?

 

there are 3 possible things that might effect it,

 

one is here: edge://settings/languages

 

and the other is on msn.com

click on the little gear icon on the top-right 

 

 

the 3rd one can be when the user is using VPN/proxy etc that changes IP address and so the NTP could detect location from your IP.

HotCakeX The locale is set to German both on MSN.com and inside Edge. I have no VPN or Proxy active right now.

    Sounds like a bug then,
    Which Edge insider channel and version is it happening on?

      HotCakeX The latest Edge Dev. Creating a new profile does not solve it. Reinstalling Edge did, however, but not now I have the problem that the NTP shows only the default mountains and no Bing picture (even though it is in fact the new NTP, with dark mode and everything).

      Reinstalling Edge also fixed the language issue in Application Guard. Curiously, the NTP in Application Guard does show a Bing picture.
