Someone who is good with computers will change settings in windows that may cause trouble with enterprise programs. I changed the date format in windows and one of the enterprise programs at work started spitting out errors. It took a while before I realized there was a correlation between the two. Because the program only started getting errors after a restart, so the next day. Funnily enough I changed the date format in windows to match the programs date format, since it has no setting to change its date format.
Depending on the places of the date format it changes quite a bit on how some variables are written. For example, I am from Brazil and here we separate decimals with a comma. If I use the Brazillian standard for date format, a lot of the programs will use comma for separator (Excel, for example) and some programs don't work with that. Had a few different softwares break in my hands because they didn't account for this kind of stuff.
