    Taskbar time can't change to short time format


    So I debloated windows and somehow ended up with the time in the taskbar set to long time format. I prefer it in short time format and can't find a way to set it to what I like.


    Note: I have "Use small taskbar icons" enabled but still have the long time format being displayed.


    What I have tried are:

    Settings>Time & Language>Region> Change date formats>Additional date, time & regional settings>Region


    I can't find a setting to change it to short 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 .
