MacOs Sonoma showing wrong timenotation at startup

When turning on my Macbook Pro M1 on the startupscreen (so before logging on) the time is not showing the 24h format (so instead of 21:45 it shows 9:45) and the language is english and not dutch, which is the system's primairy language. Locking the screen during operation the notation is as configured in the system settings.

MacBook Pro showing incorrect time and date Hi All, Since an update about a year ago my MacBook has started displaying the wrong time and date. It looks like the clock just turns itself off when the MacBook lid is shut and then when reopened just acts like its that time. E.g Finish working on Saturday night at 7.30pm. Shut the lid and then reopen on Sunday Morning at 11.30am and the time still shows Saturday 7.30pm. Gone into settings, turned off auto update and back on again (which fixes the issue until the next time). Anyone have any ideas? It's really annoying!

Wrong Date when automatically set, despite doing everything. I didn’t use my Macbook Air M1 2020, for a month due to my very busy schedule. After a month when I restarted it I found that the internet was not working despite being connected to working Wifi. I found that my Macbook is showing wrong date when automatically set. It was more than 1.5 years off of current date. Also the time was incorrect despite being in correct time zone. I manually corrected time and date everything worked fine. but the problem still persists. Whenever I set date and time to automatic on system settings, my Macbook goes back 1.5 years to January 2022 and also wrong time. I have done everything from restarting my MacBook to Reinstalling the MacOS Ventura. But nothing seems to work. Please Help!

M1 Pro (14 inch) MacBook Pro displaying incorrect date and time. Haven't really done any installations or uninstallations in the last 2 months other than updating the OS to macOS 14.1.1 (Sonoma) on 16-11-23. The issue was observed for the first time around a week ago. I have only tried restarting the Mac a couple of times which didn't fix the issue. Running the device by setting the time manually for now, but need it reverted to automatic. TIA for the help.
