Windows 10: Short date change from WIN7 to WIN10 for Slovenia region

Hello, first time asker here, I have chatted with online support and talked by phone in my home country support but can't seem to get an answer...


The issue is... in WIN7 the short date format for Slovenia region was by default "d.MM.yyyy" this has now changed to "d. MM. yyyy" in WIN10... so now any application developed in WIN7 which relies on the WIN7 default short date format no no longer works in WIN10 due to format change...


why did the format change?

Change of short date format

In the past, I have setup a GPO to configure the short date format (under Control panel -> Region -> Formats) to MM/dd/yyyy

It works for Windows 10 build 1603 up to build 1803.

Recently, I have some machines upgraded to build 1903, and found that the short date format was changed to M/d/yy instead during the machine startup. If I run "gpupdate /force" manually and can successfully changed it back to MM/dd/yyyy.

I tried to add GPO by directly modify the registry: (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\sShortDate), and the result is the same. After PC startup, after the group policy is applied (by system automatically), the short date format is reverted back
to M/d/yy
