Windows saying it's PM when it's AM [on hold]

In Windows 10, the clock is saying its 12:08 PM when it's 12:08 AM (noon).
The bios clock is 24 hour format as is correct (12:08).

I have the time zone set correctly (I'm in UK so its UTC+00:00).

I have automatic timezone and automatic time set to enabled.



I am not sure how to fix this without diving into the registry but I think I should probably fix it as it can confuse me and lead to system instability.



Any help would be appreciated.



edit: Maybe it is saying it is 12:00 PM because it is at least 1 minute past, however I could be wrong and it is still confusing to me

  • I think it's correct and you're confusing it. Noon is 12 o'clock so any time after it is PM.

Well, it seems correct.



12:00 AM is actually midnight, which goes up to 11:59 AM (noon), then after one minute, it goes to 12:00 PM (noon) till 11:59 PM (just before midnight).



You can type in the command prompt:



time


which would give for example:



C:>time
The current time is: 13:29:57.30
Enter the new time:

    It is easier to explain that the 12th hour is displayed as 0:00 on devices that use a 24h format, because time goes from 0:00 till 11:59. This also explains why 12:00 AM (or rather 0:00 AM) is midnight.
