Win 10 taskbar date showing as small square after spring creators upd

Hey all,

new to this forum as a member. so hopefully i can contribute down the road.

but looking for a little enlightenment as ive tried searching but have not been successful.

have a client with 5 win 10 pro 64-bit boxes. all the same dell builds. staff says all upgraded to 1803 - 17134.48 last week. naturally 1 decides its not going to play well. the date which usually shows as x/xx/xxxx is showing as a small square. one of their apps is showing a date of jan 1, 2008 when they try and clock in as a result. tried changing themes. tried fiddling with date format and display. no success.

help!!

TIA!
