Where are the preferences in group policy in Windows 10?

2

I need to set preferences in group policy for date/time formats but I can't find preferences in the group policy editor.

I have obviously seen preferences in group policy in youtube videos etc but why is this totally missing from my group policy tool on Windows 10 professional?

I usually start group policy by typing gpedit in start menu but do I need to do something different?

Run timedate.cpl control panel. – Biswapriyo – 2019-09-27T04:21:43.103

@Biswapriyo I need to set policy so new accounts are created with the set format. Additionally I would hope that SysPrep wouldn't reset the policy if it was set through preferences because currently it resets it. – zar – 2019-09-30T15:43:18.003

Microsoft Group Policy Preferences are limited to Group policy(Active Directory), you cannot configure as a local policy

The long answer...

Edit the Default HKey_User registry keys to your desired state.

HKEY_USERS\Default User\Control Panel\International registry\sShortDate

Time settings

Then using gpedit.msc 

prevent users from editing the registry key

And

Disallow user override of locale settings
