Windows Date/Time Bug

Anonymous

I would like to report a bug I found that affects the Windows Date/Time clock in the taskbar.

This affects the following operating systems (that I've tested): Windows XP (SP3) x86, Windows 7 x64, Windows 10 x64, Windows 11 x64

How to duplicate the bug:

  1. Set Windows Region to: English (Canada)
  2. In "Additional settings..." under Date, then Date formats, change the "Short date" to the following format: ddd, MMMM d, yyyy

What happens?: For some unknown reason the date may completely disappear from the clock. (The time is still there)

By adding an additional "d" to the "ddd, MMMM d, yyyy" to make it "dddd, MMMM d, yyyy" the date will return, but the

day will be in full, i.e.: Monday instead of Mon.

The only workaround I have found to get around this bug is by changing the Region settings to: English (United States)

It is also important to note that this "Date" bug under English (Canada) has a mind of it's own. It is an intermittent issue that seems to come and go as it wants, despite setting the "ddd, MMMM d, yyyy" manually in the registry, without success.

Question: I don't know the proper reporting method to Microsoft. If someone could please help me with a URL, it would be greatly appreciated.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Settings

    Good Day JonCamaroZ,

    I appreciate your time getting back to this thead, you can re-install it or use a different computer, you will only use the Feedback Hub to report it to Microsoft developers about the said bug.

    Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

    Sincerely,

    Carlo T.

    Hello Carlo T.

    If Feedback Hub is the only method of reporting an issue I guess I'm out of luck.

    My Feedback Hub in Windows 10 has been removed.

    Thanks for the reply!
