Windows 10: In Windows 11: How do you change the time format in the MS Clock app?

Hi there, I initially searched for an answer to this and I appear to have accidentally stumbled upon a remedy whilst looking at something else. I was advised to migrate to the old Control Panel, from there check Region and make sure they were set to what I wanted. They weren't. However, I noticed that my region was set to United States and so I changed it to United Kingdom and on doing so the clock and date format immediately changed to what I wanted them to, i.e; 24hr clock and day, month and year in the UK order. Hope this helps anyone else trying to sort out the same issue.

In Windows 11, How do you change the time format in the MS Clock app ?

I have just bought a new computer, and it came with Win 11.

A lot of settings have changed...

I used to be able to have my alarms in the clock app with 24 hours format.

Where is this setting now ?

The general time format in the right end of the taskbar is correctly showing on 24 hours format, but not the clock app for the alarms.

 

Changing Time Format

Hi Mary,

There's a possibility that the set up time format in your computer Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is military time. To have this checked, you can try to reset the time of your computer through Control Panel. See the steps below on how to do
so:

• Open Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region >
  Change date, time, or number formats. This would open the
  Region window.
• From there, click on Additional settings at the bottom part. It will open the Customize Format.
• Click Reset; then, OK.

The steps should work; however, if not, we suggest that you contact manufacturer and have the BIOS time checked.

Let us know what happens after doing the suggestions .

Hello,

I hope I can help you today

Open the Control Panel and, in Clock, language and region, click Change date, time or number formats.

In the Formats tab, in Date and time formats, follow these steps:

To change to the 24-hour format, in the Shortcut drop-down list, select hh: mm and, in the Long-time drop-down list, select HH: mm: ss.

To change to the 12-hour format, in the Shortcut drop-down list, select h: mm: tt and, in the Long time drop-down list, select h: mm: ss: tt.

Click Apply, and then OK.
