Windows 10: Time Formats

I'm running Windows 10 on a Dell Inspiron. Recently I had to reinstall Windows because of a serious update malfunction. I set the time in the taskbar to 24-hour display which I want but when the machine boots the log-in/lock screen shows 12-hour format. How do I get the times to agree?

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 .
