    well I believe this due to privacy update or sort of, if MS consider this a breach of privacy, so why the option is still there ?

    since I give a s**t on privacy and all machines I use in public behave like I described, I assume a bug somewhere in all installations. These differ from enterprise x64 to x86 to pro 64 and 86. Even a brand new Surface2 pro behaves like this. There must be a sync signal that changes my damned time format to where it should not be. Honestly I can live with it but I know ppl who might ask me upon this and I might have no answer

    edit: I'm running the so called "talking desktop clock" which is in English language only. Perhaps this device manipulates them two machines where it is installed on and distributes Bs over my net

    yes but I don't have a problem with date and time format locally only when I view a webpage on both Chrome or IE I get always US date format, I don't know if this related to your case for both time and date ?

    have no appropriate idea for your problem but you can search for similar things which I described above. perhaps a small program interferes with your browsers in any way like an addon or plug in

    for chrome
    go to settings. then show advanced settings. go to language and input setting. add English UK use as default and that should be it.

    Just to update you guys on this matter... the issue has been fixed in the latest MS update ... now the date format is showing in the native settings.

    cheers
