When Edge is first installed it should pick up the default system language and prioritise that. I may be wrong but it seems the default language is English USA which tries to put the letter Z where S should be which is real annoying. I have had to manually change the language setting for Edge which I believe is unnecessary unless for some reason I want my PC to be in one language and my browser in another. I can't think of a reason why I'd want that.

I would like clear documentation how Edge interacts with Windows language settings like the ones below. I am specifically interested in their effects on the HTTP Accept-language header value.
* Order of the Windows language list
* Selected value for Input Method Override Settings/Devices/Keyboard
* Selected value for "Let websites provide locally relevant content by accessing my lanaguage list".
* Device "Region" setting - Settings/Time&Language/Region
* Selected value in "Regional format data" -Settings/Time&Language/Region
Also do these settings impact only the installer, or do they influence the language settings for each user profile?
