Hi Robert

Odd that X10 and 2018 are different?

Looks ok at my end with £ as expected
Are your language settings the same for both pc’s?

FWIW I get NZ$ in X10 -- which is correct for me. With 2018 I get a msg saying I am offline, which I'm not. AFAIK the Welcome/Home/Get More screens all worked until the latest Win 10 update a few days ago. Mind you, I don't access the Home screen all that often. When I encountered this off-line msg yesterday, I thought rebooting the computer might fix things, but apparently not. :roll:

FWIW, I have both x10 and 2018 installed on the same desktop, and the "get more" item on the welcome home page in both of them report prices in AUD$.

The only place I could find where currency is set is in the OS, in my case, win 7, control panel: region and language item, format tab, advanced settings (dollar symbols for currency) and in the location tab where the locale is set by country (Australia). The OS clearly combines these 2 to get the currency result on display.

I don't understand how you could get 2 different currency settings on the same PC. Robert's bio says he's using the same OS as I am, so his results should be the same, whatever locale is set.

VSX10 shows NZ$ as the currency for Get More Content, yet when VSX10 is closed and the Promo Splash Screen shows to upgrade to VS2018, then the price shows correctly as AUD$

Update
Whilst VS2018 shows sterling as the currency, the Splash Screen for the Black Friday Savings shows AUD$ correctly
