All other language and regional settings are set to United States.


However, all my browsers now redirect corporate websites to the dutch alternative.

I.e. Asus.com -> Asus.com/nl

Microsoft.com -> microsoft.com/nl-nl


I don't want any website to think it's intelligent. I want the English website whenever I type a .com address.

In Region, I set Country to United States

In Region, I set Regional format to English (United States)

In Language, I set Windows display language to English (United States)

In Language, I set Preferred Languages to English (United States)


I also changed all languages to United Kingdom once, rebooted, and changed it back to United States.

I cleared my cookies in Chrome and Edge. And I tried several websites in Incognito/Private Mode.

Both in Chrome and Edge, I'm still being redirected to the dutch websites.


What am i missing in this case?
