Hello,
we are using Dynamics 365 CRM onprem and have troubles opening the "system settings" windows. When the window pop ups, it immediatelly shows the error "Error:" with no further information.
 
When downloading the protocol log :
 
Unhandled exception:

Strange: The dropdownlist for selecting the "actual format" is showing the 3072 as first entry of the list:
 
 
No matter when I call CRM in client or server (as administrator), the error persists.
However, when clicking away the error, the system settings is working fine, I can change e.g. the date format and save it.
Anything else is working fine, contacts, accounts, campaigns are ok. So there is only a sick feeling in the stomach.
 
CRM (german version) is running on Windows Server 2022 (english, with german language pack) and uses SQL Server 2022 Developer (english). The SQL Server runs on same VM as CRM. I am using this machine as test system.
It´s a brand new server where I installed CRM 9.0.2 and updated it to 9.1.42. Then I used the deployment manager toimport the database from another test system which is running CRM 9.1.40 (which is running windows server 2016 DE and sql server 2016 EN, where this error doesn´t popup).
 
How to get rid of the error?

    The error happens because Dynamics 365 CRM 9.1.X does not support Windows custom cultures. LCID 3072 means Custom Regional Format, which CRM cannot handle and can only handle windows cultures. 
    When CRM load Regional options in system settings  it calls GetCultureInfo(lcid) that API throw an exception for LCID 3072. 
    Below can fix your issue:
    On the CRM server, set Region -> Formats to a standard culture (e.g. German (Germany)) and Reset any custom format.
    In the CRM org database, replace LCID 3072 with a real culture (e.g. 1031):
    UPDATE Organization SET FormatLcid = 1031 WHERE FormatLcid = 3072;
    UPDATE UserSettings SET LocaleId = 1031 WHERE LocaleId = 3072;
    Restart IIS / CRM services.
