I don't even know my locale.
Is is the device display language, the keyboard input language, my geo location, my browser language, my legal location, my browser-preferred website language, the language I set last time, the language of the domain (looking at amazon.co.uk), the language that was auto-selected last time for me on mobile or... something else entirely?
Exactly. Under Windows, this isn't even consistent across applications. I'm in France, with the location set to France, using English display language and "English (Europe)" formatting. This means that the expected date is DD/MM/YYYY. It's what shows up in the taskbar, for example. But many applications seem to do this based on language, so I sometimes get MM/DD/YYYY.
I don't normally run Windows, so I can't check right now, but I think it's mostly "modern" applications that mess this up. Like the MS Store, Teams (obviously).
