Only allows contiguous 12 within 24 hours (no wraparound across midnight) for people who waste the night sleeping ;^> Setting this seems to defer restarts up to a week. On W10 Pro, you can choose 16?/18? hours apparently. It also features terrible graphics hours and minutes "spinner" like old mechanical rotary clocks and calendars - ugh ;^p *Might* be acceptable on some school kid's project, but most of them have more design sense, standards, and taste, than MicroSoft. Would be nice to shrink these tabletized wastes of screen real estate with huge fonts to normal dialogue box forms. -- Take care.
