Is it at all possible to have different profiles with different regional settings? Ive got several japanese games i enjoy playing on my pc that require my regional settings to be in japanese. On previous computers i’ve had to have a second install of windows set up in that manner, or change the settings if i wanted to play the games, then change them back when i was done.
