    Hi Moses Okpala,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Open the old Control Panel (not the new Settings App)

    At the top of the old Control panel, set View to Icons and then open Region

    Click the 'Additional Settings' button

    Select the Time tab on the second dialog.

    Set the Long and Short time to this: h:mm tt

    Save those Settings, that will change the time to the 12 hour clock.

    .

    Just to add to Dave's solution, the format options are also there in Windows 10 (22H2) Settings:
    Settings > Time & Languge > Region > Change data formats, then select your preferences for Short time and Long time. You can see the effect immediately on the clock in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen, if it's there.
