Change region in Microsoft Store via Windows 11

If you start downloading apps from the Microsoft Store (“Windows Store”), you've probably noticed that the apps in the Microsoft Store are categorized based on your region. Apps from other regions are not available through the Microsoft Store by default.

For example, apps from the Asia or Europe region may not be available to Windows 11 users from the US and vice versa.

When you download apps from the Microsoft Store, you can rest assured that these apps have been tested and found to work well for your version of Windows. Apps in the Microsoft Store are also checked for malware and other errors to prevent problems.

In this article I will explain to you how to use the region in Windows 11 to download apps that are not available by default for your region from the Microsoft Store.
