Problem
If you are receiving errors relating to dates using payroll after updating to Windows 10 you will need to check the region and language settings to ensure the short date format is set to dd/MM/yyyy.
Resolution
Windows 10 actually has two different locations to configure your PC region and language settings, both of these need to be checked.
Click on the start button and then “Settings“
From the settings windows, click on “Time & Language“
On the following window make sure “Country or region” is set to “United Kingdom“. Then click on the option “Additional date, time & regional settings“
On the following windows, click the option “Change date, time or number formats“
Make sure the format option here is set to “English (United Kingdom)“. You should see this then correctly sets the short date format to “dd/MM/yyyy“.
Once these settings are in place payroll will behave normally.
