After switching all of my clocks to 24-hour time, I'm still seeing the initial login screen with a 12-hour clock. Every internet search I try comes up with lock screen fixes, but nothing for the login screen. Is there a separate setting for this?

This is an old question. Lock screens are managed by the Administrator identity (for obvious security reasons). Sometimes when you switch time formats, the change isn't synced to it's profile.

Follow these instructions:

Try This. This worked for me.

1. Open Control Panel then open "Region" settings
2. Set your "Short Time" & "Long Time" formats in the window that comes up, then click "Apply." If needed.
3. Select the "Administrative" tab at the top, then click the "Copy settings..." button.
4. In the subsequent window, check the box for "Welcome screen and system accounts." and "New user accounts."
5. Click the "OK" button and lock the PC with Win+L to test it. Restart if needed
