Wrong news language

Today my default MSN news page in Edge Chromium opens with news from India instead of US. Everything from news to movies is India and Bollywood. Why? Going to Personalize, it shows I have selected 'US news' and News and Cars and Weather.  Any idea why?

      Problem is that the whole menu is in Thai. I can't believe that MS have not fixed all the language problems yet. Store is same. Just bought Amazon prime, but had to cancel it because everything in the MS store that I need to use Prime, is in Thai.

      My settings is:
      English (United States)
      English
      Offer to translate pages that aren't in a language I read

      Check spelling
      Enable spellcheck
      English (United States), English

      English (United States)

      English

      Customize spell check
      ....

      In other words none of this seems to work at all. So I just wonder, if MS can't make their browser work, why force it on my PC?

      Now I just want to get rid of it all together, and Amazon needs to offer another way to use their services.

        Make sure Window settings and languages are correct too, as well as language in your Microsoft account.
        if you want to see only English and you are from Thailand, then set everything to English.
        that will work.

      I think he is referring to the news page that is on the default new tab page in Edge insider. you know, that small button at the bottom of the new tab page

        It is indeed the edge://newtab page

        I am not located in India, or using a VPN. I am actaully located in the Netherlands. But just trying to find out the URL, it brings me now to the correct MSN page again. Somehow it got it wrong this morning. Thanks
