JAKARTA - The date and time of each region is clearly different. Therefore, the default date and time setting on devices such as laptops and smartphones is following your current location.

However, you can also easily change the date and time format according to what you want, especially on Windows.

Changing the date and time format in Windows can be done via Settings or through the Control Panel. Although changing the format a little easier with Settings, the Control Panel gives you more options.

Let's see how to change the date and time format through Settings. From there you will find options in the Region panel below Time & Language.

To change the date format, click the Short date drop-down menu and Long date to display the list of available options. Select the one you like.

Change the time format to follow the same pattern. Click Short time and Long time to open the available format.

Although changing the date and time format of the Settings app is slightly different between Windows 10 and 11, changing the format from within the Control Panel is almost identical between the two OS.
