SP4
Several months ago, this started happening. John John helped to refer me to
Regional Settings so I could restore the time format to- hh:mm:ss:tt for
the normal 12 hour setting.
The format never changed in at least 5 years, But in the last few months,
at random times, the system time reverts to 24 hour format. Sometimes not
for several weeks, sometimes several days in a row. I do a daily cold boot
so notice it on startup.
I need to mention, this is a "quiet" machine, I rarely install anything,
use freeware. Run a safe cleaner on shutdown each night. I always browse to
same sites, javascript/images/cookies disabled, AV scans show nothing,
process utilities show nothing unusual. I resently ran the MS MSRT utility,
no issues. What I'm trying to say is IMO the time format problem is not
caused by malware.
I have run no apps that would effect system time, AFAIK.
What can be the cause of the format change and how to fix it?
