Windows 10: Dates and hours being displayed as weird symbols

Good afternoon dear all,


I've been trying to change my Windows 10 display language from PT to DE but all that I managed to do was to mess up the Date and Hours format and change its display to weird symbols pic showing how the hours and dates looks like : https://imgur.com/a/WVIkzFj .


Do you know what can I do to rever this?


I've already tried the Restore option deleting all the installed apps and keeping my personal files but it didn't work.


Thanks in advance,

:)

 

Weird date/time glitch

Hi John,

This could be caused by an error on your system files or it could just be a mistake on your Date/Time settings. A normal restart usually fixes the issue, but if in case it doesn't you can try this steps instead.

• Right-click on the date and time on your taskbar. A set of options should appear.
• Choose Adjust date/time. Make sure that it is set to your correct timezone.
• On the second drop-down, choose Don't show additional calendars.
• At the bottom, click on Change date and time formats.
• Suggested format should be:

• Firs day of week - Sunday
• Short date - M/d/yyyy
• Long date - dddd, MMMM d, yyyy
• Short time - h:mm tt
• Long time - h:mm:ss tt

You can check the Region and language as well to make sure. It is located on the same Adjust date/time window.

It can be a simple graphic concern so you can also try and update your display driver. Just type in
devmgmt on your search bar beside the Start button. A new window should appear. Expand
Display adapters then right click on your adapter. Click
Properties. Then go to Driver tab, then click Update
Driver.

If you have any other concerns, don't hesitate to come back to us.

 

symbols only displaying after another key is pressed.

Hi Alex,

Virus and malware could be one of the possible reasons why you're having trouble with symbols on your keyboard. To isolate the issue, we'd like to ask you a few questions:

• Have you made any recent changes to your device before the issue started?
  
• Did you encounter any error messages while typing the symbols?
• Can you tell us the troubleshooting steps that you've performed?

Meanwhile, we suggest scanning your device using an antivirus program and see if it's infected by a virus.

We'll keep an eye out for your response.
