#Windows 10 don't lock screen update#

I came across your post because I was looking for a way to manually modify the update rate to show the proper seconds on the clock. It just is not updating at the proper interval. The lock screen is in fact properly querying the time format you have specified. So now that we have all the data laid out for reference, back to your actual question. Other parts are hard-coded to only update every one minute, or just flat out break and show incorrect data. Some parts of the OS are able to pick up on a custom time and update every second. So I loaded the menu at 43, and the clock shows 44.Ĭlearly Microsoft has not tested this all that well. In fact, each of the seconds shown are the same, and they were the value of the live clock when the menu loaded. Strangely, each of my calendar appointments for tomorrow show seconds on the time. This does show the clock and update every second. The taskbar does not show this, however, clicking on the clock brings up the time/calendar menu. Now the lock screen upon boot-up and when your user account locks will show this time format.ĭo you concur that this is either how you got here or that your settings represent this? Click Cancel to close the Region Control Panel dialog.Click OK to close the 'Welcome screen and new accounts settings' dialog.Check the box for 'Welcome screen and system accounts'.If that dialog did NOT update to show 'HH:mm:ss', pressing Apply or OK again on this dialog will wipe the previous setting. After closing that customize format dialog, you will be able to press apply on the Region Control Panel dialog.Originally only have 4 options available, I manually typed in 'HH:mm:ss' and pressed apply to save that new value. Likely, you did the same thing I did in the past. Here, if 'HH:mm:ss' is still set, we see 5 options available. In the 'Time formats' section, we see the Short time text box/drop-down menu.

If you were to select any other options than 'HH:mm:ss', 'HH:mm:ss' disappears from the menu choices and only 4 are available. 'HH:mm:ss' is only showing up because that is the current setting. In the Short time drop-down box, you will see 5 entries 'HH:mm:ss','HH:mm', 'h:mm tt', 'hh:mm tt', and 'H:mm'.In a command prompt or Run dialog, launch the Intl.cpl (Region Control Panel).What you have done with the time format is the same thing I have done.

Using the Start Menu on the computer screen: Open the Start Menu by clicking the Windows Logo icon (usually in the lower left of. On your keyboard, hold down the Windows Logo Icon key and the L key on the keyboard at the same time.
