Shortened Date and Time

Split from this thread.

I Upvoted the Time & Date entry in FH about a suggested bug. Although I have figured out why this happens & I should not have Upvoted it, as it is NOT a bug.

In the Sys Tray it uses "Short Time", not "Long Time". And 24H in Short Time has no option with seconds, so when it is told to Show seconds it MUST go to AM/PM format.

Same can be said for using "Show abbreviated time and date". Cannot have cake & eat it, too.
Again, this is not a bug, either. It does not/cannot apply to 24H, so it switches.

Cheers,
Drew

Pretty silly excuse.

Pauli just showed he has 24 hours format with seconds.

I agree with you 100%. I have said or told people the same thing often... for one example in regard to Copilot. Never mind removing stuff you don't like or think is dumb, instead don't use it, whatever 'it' is.

And, actually, it is not a bug...

Every time they add a useless feature, they also add a new bug. 🤣🤣🤬

Just my opinion here, Windows is made for everyone,

not just you. What you think of as useless maybe others don't.

Everything needs to be tested, if you don't like it, don't use it!!!

I have Upvoted your entry in FH about this suggested bug. Although I may have figured out why this happens...
