    My new laptop is stuck in military time format


    So when I go in to the date and time settings and click on the pulldown menu, nothing happens. When I click the arrow for "short time", nothing happens. How can I fix this so I get the 12 hour am/pm format?

    :)

    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 .

    Hi Joss,

    Go to settings\Time & Language\Date Time and Reginal Formatting\Change Data Format, from there you should be able to change it.
