How to change date format settings

[moody (OP)]

As mentioned in the "known issues" thread "Date formats.  Some users see the day of the week in displayed dates, which means there is not enough room.  This can be fixed in by changing Windows date to shorter format in settings. "

Well the same issue for me.  However, I am unable to find the settings to change it.  Where can I change such settings?

Thank you!

Assuming you are running windows 10:


Right click on the time, in the task tray.

Left click on Adjust Date/Time

Now that we have the Date & Time control panel open, there is a related setting we want to use, Date, Time, & regional formatting.  Left click on that.

Long date is the one to change.  It has 4 possibilities, two have the day before the month, two are after, and for each pair one shows the day and the other does not.

Another way to the same thing:
Open search

Type in Settings, like this:

Select the settings app, which gets us here:

In the search bar, type in date:

Select Change date and time formats
