Shortened Date and Time

Control Panel opens in Canary using VMware.

Hi Johnny,

Could you please take a look at my last post above.

Lazy turkey week in the US. No new builds this week. 😂🤷‍♂️

Thanks.

>24H in Short Time has no option with seconds, so when it is told to Show seconds it MUST go to AM/PM format.

I have 24H mode with seconds,

Hi Pauli,

Could you please try to see what happens if you use English (United States) here and 24Hours format?

I have 5 machines that switch on their own to 12 Hours AM/PM format when this "Show seconds" is enabled. 😎😂🤷‍♂️

See the ScreenToGif animation at the bottom.

No, did not change from Canada. As I said, I have no explanation for why it went from 24H to AM/PM when I tried right after you said there was a bug. Then when I saw Pauli say it worked, I tried it, again and yes indeed it held.

Why it seemed 'broken' to you & then was not behaving badly, I won't hypothesise and have you suggest I am being "silly", again.

It was said "Show abbreviated" did the same and that too was changed to not being the case. seems all one can say is "all's well that ends well".

And apparently, also, contrary to what was said initially, 24H IS available in the US. Often the US is the (global) exception, but not offering 24H time in a global OS was very surprising.

Retail 11 Canada without seconds

Same with seconds

Cheers,
Drew

I have several machines, insider and no-insider and they all show the problem if I select English (United States) or English (Canada) while they work fine if I select English (Europe).

What is weird is that you saw the same and then the problem disappeared. 😂😵‍💫🤷‍♂️

Also, you screenshot was taken in the morning, these below after 12 noon and before midnight. 🤷‍♂️

Here is what it shows in the morning, set for 24Hours format:

adds the AM when Show Seconds is enabled. 😂😂😂😵‍💫🤷‍♂️

Yes, can't explain, but now, if I show seconds in retail 11, it is (no longer) going to AM/PM.

Cheers,
Drew

Did you change from English (Canada) to something else? Or some other setting?

Same machine with English (Canada). 😵‍💫🤣🤷‍♂️
