Awake's tray icon doesn't respect 24h time format #47359

Description

@Rool-IO

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.99

Installation method

PowerToys auto-update

Area(s) with issue?

Awake

Steps to reproduce

Set any precise target time and see the tray icon not matching the 24h time format - eg. will use 1:30 (not even adding pm) instead of 13:30
Little quirk that is rather annoying over time (started with 0.98 iirc) but should be an easy fix

✔️ Expected Behavior

Awake to simply respect that 24h format if it's what the user has set

❌ Actual Behavior

Doesn't respect that 24h format

    Rool-IO can you post a screenshot of your Awake settings screen and the content you are seeing near the tray icon?

    Since it doesnt respect the local time format, that also causes another bug where the tray icon also misses to show the AM / PM, so it gets confusing.

    For example I went into powertoys options to configure it to 17:30, but now it shows wrongly 5:30 making you think its in the morning:
