Windows 10: How do I make AM/PM show on lock screen? Windows 10

Hi. When my laptop is locked it doesn't show AM or PM in the time:How do I fix it?

:)

 

AM/PM For The Time At The Lock Screen


Oh my bad.. I think you accidentally typoed something small in your sentence: =P

"...but AM / PM is regardless of your settings never shown in Windows Clock and lock screen if 24 hour clock has been selected"

that sentence states that it is possible to show the AM/PM in the Lock Screen as long as the 24 hour clock has not been selected =P

But hey, strange enough, I actually did get it to show.. check out post #4 above. I'll attach a picture. but what sucks is that the clock in the bottom right after i unlock the screen shows "8:07 AM AM"

Do you think you can forward this to Microsoft programmers? thanks

 

Windows 10 Lock Screen, Time format AM / PM

I have not found a way to display the AM/PM symbols on the lock screen without having double entries on the Taskbar.

I guess you could use some Alt Code as an alternative:

AM/PM For The Time At The Lock Screen


You can change the time format, how time is shown on Windows notification area freely but AM / PM is regardless of your settings never shown in Windows Clock and lock screen if 24 hour clock has been selected.

To change how time is shown on Windows desktop, select Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Region, click Additional settings:





Now change time formats manually typing any of the following values for short time. Add :ss for long time for seconds:

[table][tr][td]h:mm[/td] [td]12 hour clock, no leading zero, no AM / PM[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]h:mm tt[/td] [td]12 hour clock, no leading zero, with AM / PM[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]hh:mm[/td] [td]12 hour clock, with leading zero, no AM / PM[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]hh:mm tt[/td] [td]12 hour clock, with leading zero, with AM / PM[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]H:mm[/td] [td]24 hour clock, no leading zero, no AM / PM[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]H:mm tt[/td] [td]24 hour clock, no leading zero, with AM / PM[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]HH:mm[/td] [td]24 hour clock, with leading zero, no AM / PM[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]HH:mm tt[/td] [td]24 hour clock, with leading zero, with AM / PM[/td] [/tr] [/table]

Here I have selected 24 hour clock with AM / PM, but it's only shown in notification area. Opening clock does not show AM / PM, nor does lock screen, whatever settings I have chosen as long as I am using 24 hour clock:





Using 12 hour clock AM / PM is always shown in Clock and lock screen if selected.
