Whatever happened to the ability to set the range of dates that Windows uses to calculate the 4-figure year? It used to be available under Regional settings but no longer. Is there a work-around or do I need to change my data entry to 4-figure years?

Always helpful to note what problem you're trying to solve, there might be better solutions than this approach.

I'm using Microsoft Office applications. In both Access and Excel, entering a 2-digit in the range 23 - 29 returns 2023 - 2029.

In the past I have controlled this through the Settings > ... > Regional > Date dialogue, but this option appears to have entirely disappeared from both Windows 1 & 11
