This tutorial will show you how to change the date format used for your account in Windows 11.
Your regional format settings will influence how your date/time, numeric, and currency data types appear when you apply formatting options. Windows supports a variety of languages, plus currency and date/time formats for the countries/regions that use those languages.

This tutorial will show you how to change the order of library locations for your account in Windows 11.

This tutorial will show you how to delete backed up BitLocker recovery keys from your Microsoft account.
Windows will require a BitLocker recovery key when it detects a possible unauthorized attempt to access the data on a drive (volume) encrypted by BitLocker or Device Encryption.

This can also happen if you make changes in hardware, firmware, or software which BitLocker cannot distinguish from a possible attack. In these cases, BitLocker may require the extra security of the recovery key even if the user is an authorized owner of the device. This is to be certain that the person trying to unlock the data really is authorized.
