Hi RobD365,

As I can see, your regional settings are configured properly, however, you need to configure the language preferences for the News and Interests. Click on the News and Interests icon from the taskbar, click the settings, from Language and content, select your preferred language as shown screenshot.

Thanks SalmanAhmed,

There's no obvious language change option in the menu. The other thing is that the sandbox will loose this setting when closed, so it's not a permanent solution to the issue.

Cheers

Rob

    Hi RobD365
    A sandbox is designed as a temporary, lightweight desktop environment that allows to run applications safely in isolation from the host. Once you close it, all the settings, configuration, state, files, and applications are deleted. Every time, when you launch the application, you will get a brand-new instance of the sandbox.
