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

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.

We get heaps of (new) Features to test that nobody necessarily or specifically requested. And we have every right as testers to say whether we feel any one of them is needed, wanted or have any appeal OR whether they work as prescribed or not.

2024-11-28T04:21:06+00:00 Yes, so can I, now, in Retail 11. I don't want them, but it does stay. Why it didn't when it was first mentioned 🤷♂️

2024-11-28T08:31:11+00:00 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
