Windows 10: More Date & Time (D&T) Formatting Problems

I discovered myself by chance that using Regional Settings allowed me (and all others outside the US) to have the date before the time and not vice versa.
Then a Reply told me not to use small buttons in Taskbar (TB). This does show my D&T but takes away text below the button unless there is a 2nd row; but only for that row - no way I can increase the height of the TB to show text in the top row. Please can anyone help?
Also no way I can change D&T format in Explorer. The stated new method using FE View/Options/View does not have a Date in my Advanced settings as given in the advice. Ditto re help.

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 .

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.
