    Off-topic, I know, but.. how to avoid being redirected ...


    This may/may not have something to do with Windows, I have no idea.

    I am using Windows 10 x64 Pro 1511 bld 10586.3 (English version) and Firefox v42.0
    When doing a 'Google-search' and get all results in English language, rightfully so.
    However, at selecting a Microsoft link, I am redirected to the Microsoft site in my native language (non-English).
    (most probably that has something to do with the Windows regional settings?)

    I prefer English sites though.

    How to solve this?

    I am unsure about the effects... when changing the Region and Language->Country.

    (just changed Control Panel -> Clock, Language and Region -> Change date,time or numbers formats
    'Date and time formats' to English and adjusted date/time settings to dd-mm-yyyy and hh:mm:ss
    That didn't change anything.

    Thanks!

    Try going to Microsoft.com (it will redirect you to Microsoft.com/nl-nl I suppose), go to the bottom left of the page and change your language there. It seems to stick if you don't clear cookies.

    For onedrive, outlook.com you can change your language on your account settings...

    Then change at bottom of page

    Office online I can't change. For Excel it is particularly annoying as formulas have non-English names and I need to use comma instead of period for decimal separator. MS said to change it on your MS account settings (as above) but it doesn't work for me.

    Thanks a lot! That, indeed, did the trick!
    Again - thanks.
