Split from this thread.

No problems for me so far. Can't say I'm much of a fan of the shortened date on the Taskbar. I'd have thought 26/11/24, UK format, would be better if being shortened at all.

    Ok, thanks to both of you. I am looking into this. I don't think of Control Panel, anymore. Looks like there may well be something appealing to me, even without (using) Windhawk.

    BTW, I did know you wouldn't be using Windhawk for anything; hence the 😉

    OK, update:

    With heaps of waiting CP isn't opening in Canary IB 🤷‍♂️. BUT thanks to you telling me about going into CP I, now, have what I like in retail 11, suitable for me and have shut off that Mod in Windhawk.

    Thanks, again.

    The person from, I think it's the UK, might, also, appreciate knowing about this.

    I am glad/happy to say/see 24H is, also, available if/for Canada 😃👍👍

    Cheers,

    B.T.W.

    h/H = 12/24 hour does not work for English (United States) and the setting below is on. 😂😂🤷‍♂️

    It works when the setting "Show Seconds" is off. 😵‍💫🤷‍♂️

    Instead of predefined options on dropdown menu you can clck select Additional settings

    abd then you can type any format you like for Time and Date tabs.

    YES! So, tell me where or how in Canary IB, please? Seems I hadn't looked well enough (for it) 😂

    But aside from that, geeez, seems I had bit of a memory lapse 🙄😕😖🤣 I had done it with Windhawk in my retail 11. I could be rid of AM/PM w/ that, also. I'd really prefer a 24hr but that is not offered. I've gone back to show Time & Date 🤣 Go ahead, call me silly, confused or forgetful; hopefully this was an isolated incident 🤞

    I will, still, take another look in Canary IB. Unless you did it there w/ Windhawk 😉 (doubt it)

    Oh, and I never mentioned it, but some time ago, not too long ago, I notice Hyper-V and Hyper-V Manager have taken on Dark Mode.

    Cheers,
    Drew

    I don't use WindHawk.

    Just the Control Panel, these are the options for the "Short date", different choices for Canada. 😉

    Same for any Build not just insider.
