MS have made this too convoluted. I figured it out for myself by clicking on stuff in Windows 11, but it took a little while. No wonder users sometimes get frustrated with Windows.

Settings > Time & Language > Language & region

Languages you set to whatever you prefer, you can have more than one, preferred at the top of the list.
The third item, 3 dots > Language Options is where you set the Keyboard > Add a keyboard.
Again you can have more than one installed keyboard.
Normally that would be set whatever your keyboard layout is. There are potentially many keyboard layouts but just match up what you see, normally with separate keyboards there is a label stuck on indicating the layout.

Country or region should be set to Poland.

Regional format set to a nominal country, you can change the formats of date/time to suit what you like.

"No problem bro, I stay on the US region. I give up"

No, that is just defeatist. It has always been difficult in Windows to set things up correctly going back decades.

I changed the date format and region to PL through PowerShell (FORCE). The topic on the forum is now closed.

Please mark it as solved.

Which still may not prevent the helpful people here from trying to offer advice. ;-)
