I've run into a challenge with two different applications that are essential for my work. One is an ERP system and the other is for banking transactions, but they require different regional settings — one needs the USA region, and the other prefers Serbian (Latin). Changing the settings manually every time I switch between these apps is a hassle, as it means restarting my system up to 10 times a day! I've reached out to both vendors, but no solutions have been offered since they insist their apps need to run with their specific regional settings. I'd love to hear how other users deal with these kinds of issues, especially since I'm using Windows 11 OS.

Have you thought about setting up a second user account and configuring it for one of the regional settings? Switching users is a lot quicker than rebooting. Alternatively, you could run one of the applications in a virtual machine, although I get that might be more complex to manage.
I appreciate the suggestion! A second account could work, but training the users on using a VM might be too much, especially since they’re in accounting. Just weighing the options.
