By default, Windows displays the system time in a 24-hour military format. Some people prefer to read their clock in a 12-hour format, instead of the standard 24-hour format.
If you are one of these people who would like to see the 12-hour time format, the steps below will show you how to change it so that you can start reading clocks in Windows 11.
However you change the time format, it will appear on the Taskbar in the bottom right corner. It may also appear in apps and documents you create, but not if you resize them in individual programs.
