Windows 7 Date Format Showing as US MM/DD/YYYY instead of UK DD/MM/YYYY

Posted by paris on Apr 11, 2011 in Fixes |

A new Asus computer out the box had been setup with the region settings of English (United Kingdom) , however in some .net programs the date format still showed as English (United States)

This looks like a common problem with some Windows 7 Sysprepped Machines. To reset the date do the following

  • Control Panel
  • Region and Language
  • Change the Format to anything else but English (United Kingdom)
  • Click Apply
  • Change the Format back to English (United Kingdom)

This should fix the problem

Control Panel

Region and Language

Change the Format to anything else but English (United Kingdom)

Click Apply

Change the Format back to English (United Kingdom)

This is a temporary fix, once a windows update goes through the date format can suspiciously change back to US standard. Most frustrating.
