Once chosen in device setup, the region used for DMA compliance can only be changed by resetting the PC.
Just change your region back to where ever you are after setup. Nothing on your PC outside of the OS will be reading the region set during Windows Install, they’ll be asking for the currently set region.

Maybe I’m misreading what you quoted but it seems to suggest you can’t do what you’re suggesting.
Onc that region is set, it’s locked in unless you do a reset of the PC…which would presumably go through the windows set up again and ask for region.

You can always change your region in settings though, and Microsoft is not removing that ability as that would cause much much bigger problems. But their DMA checking only cares about the region selected at set up, whereas everything happening at runtime only ever gets the current region as the set up region has never been available before.
