Windows 10: Date Not Showing as per Setting ddd dd MMM yyyy

Hi,

I noticed just yesterday that the short date is not showing in the taskbar, it was showing before in the same settings in the taskbar, I don't remember when did it disappear.

Now the issue is if I change the short date style it shows properly s seen in image 2

Any idea how to get my date format back.


Thank You

:)

 

Dates

Hi Rozel, right click the cell and choose Format Cell

Set format to custom, then enter the text below as the custom format

ddd dd mmm yyyy

or

ddd dd/mmm/yyyy

Basically Excel allows you to make up your own custom formats . . .

With regards to the actual data in the cells, please explain do you want to add a calendar month or 4 weeks . . .

 

Date Format

My windows 10 laptop time and date setting does not have any other format besides dd/MM/yyyy and d/MMM/yyyy format. I need it to be mm/dd/yyyy for my files to work. How can I change it where month precedes the date?

 

The only way I know to do it is right click the taskbar and unlock it. Then put your cursor at the edge of the taskbar auntil it turns into a double headed arrow. Now drag the taskbar up to make it fatter. The long time should show then. Lock the taskbar.

 

Thank You, Got it back.

 

I'm glad it helped. Thanks for letting us know.

 

OK, so it didn't last long, worked for a few days and then again same issue.

Its not about the space because if I add even more longer date format, it shows in the same task bar setting and even shorter it shows but this specific format has started to cause some issues, not sure what the problem is. I tried unlocking the taskbar and if I pull the taskbar up even then this format wont show. Tried reset but it doesnt work. Also I have observed that when I try this format the icons next to it such as that of sound move left but the date doesnt show at all.

 

The solution I gave is the only one I know. Maybe someone else will be able to help.

 

Thanks, I will wait.

Thank You

 

Hi, could you type exactly what you would like the date to look like on the Taskbar, including punctuation, if necessary?

 

This is the format which I want it to show :

ddd dd MMM yyyy which shows as Mon 08 May 2017

 

Worked for me.
What happens, does it change after a Restart?

 

No it does not change after restart, as I noticed lately its very random, but because I keep working I do not notice date missing until I really check the time, majority of the time the date is there, don't know when it disappears or what causes it to disappear, I really did not mess with any settings.

Because I use more shortcuts could be some short cut causes it to go away unknowingly, just guessing..

 

Hmmm...,
K, let's use process of elimination:
- is your resolution set native (recommended)?
- is your DPI 100% or higher?
- is it a laptop or desktop?
- are you using Small Taskbar Buttons:





and/or:
- did you click Apply and OK on both windows:

 

Appreciate the step by step resolution.

- Resolution is recommended
- Its a laptop
- I do NOT have small taskbar buttons
- I have applied and OK (when changed to my desired format and soon as I click apply the date disappears from taskbar but the icons move left when changed from dd mm yyyy and icons move right when changed from dddd dd mmm yyyy)
- About DPI I'm pretty sure its 100%, I will still recheck (right now not with my laptop, as soon as I am I will update about DPI as well)

Thanks again..
