Hi folks,

Have you tried to use `set-local-environment'?
I usually use the command to change the date formatting in my init.el as follows:

(set-locale-environment "en_US.UTF-8") ;; "ja_JP.UTF-8"

Best  regards,

I guess youʼre starting emacs by clicking on some icon? You need to start it from the command line, with an argument of -Q, probably from cmd.exe or similar (I am Emacs-on-windows ignorant).
