I hate Entra

I went down a rabbit hole trying to set users language to UK English.

ChatGPT told me to set *Preferred language* in user properties page. https://entra.microsoft.com/#view/Microsoft_AAD_UsersAndTenants/UserProfileMenuBlade/

Go there. There is no *Preferred language* shown.

After a whole lot more ChatGPT it turns out that if *Preferred language* has not been set, Microsoft simply does not display the *Preferred language* field.

Microsoft hides some nullable attributes in the UI. preferred Language is one of them.

And then you cannot set it *anywhere* in web GUI, must be done with PowerShell.

WTF Microsoft?

Of course there appears to be no way to set it as a system wide default either.

Why is everything so fucking complicated?

Now onwards to do battle with time zone.
