Windows 10: Just a curious observation.

Dell laptop running Win 10 Pro Insider Preview

Acer laptop running Win 10 Home RTM

I am used to set the date in this format.................. eg. 2/28/2016............M/d/yyyy

My Acer has different formats which do not allow me to do that. It does not have M/d/yyyy

I ended up choosing 2/28/16 ....................M/dd/yy

I wonder if it is due to different computer manufacturers or Win 10 versions.

Just curious...

Not sure but the message may be related to the OS of the Phone not PC..

As in case of most applications / softwares a reboot of the system on which it is installed is required for the application to get FULLY installed and run properly..If the OVI Suite is run without rebooting the PC after its installation..the installation
is not COMPLETE.. and that can have adverse effects on any phone that is connected to the PC...

 

Just curious...

After the installation of Ovi PC Suite and disagreeing to a reboot, it displays a message that connecting device to a computer without the reboot can cause serious problems with OS [I don't know what the exact message is, I'm translating it from my language].
Just curious, what problems can it cause and why? And I don't want an answer like just "Windows destablilization" - something more specific would be very much appreciated.

 

Probably due to the 2 different W10 versions. My W10 Insider has the same options as your Dell.

 

Thank you.

1 of 2 confirmed.
Now need someone with an Acer Aspire.

 

What is curious is the EU/RoW version is as you would expect.

Why does US use the illogical month day year order anyway?

I often use yymmdd (reverse order) as part of file name and then when you sort files alphabetically, files are in date order.

This does not work if (reverse) US format is used.

 

The format options in Settings > Time & Language > Region & Language are quite limited and can vary on different systems. However, you can always modify the time and date formats by selecting Additional date, time & regional settings:

Notice that in Customize format dialog you don't have to accept the drop down menu options; instead you can also enter your preferred formats manually.

 

Thank you, Kari.

That works..............................
