    Hi cris_no_h,

    Please follow the steps below:

    • Open the Run by pressing Win + R, and type the below command to launch the configuration:

     

    ms-settings:regionformatting​

     

    Select your preferred English from the Regional format, e.g. "English (United Kingdom)".

I had to revert as this changed setting globally. It affected the $ format in excel to £. I loved the 24-hour clock. Eventually, I right-clicked on clock/date bottom right and used Adjust date/time.
I really like the improvements in Office 365 and the options it gives the users.
