Sometimes the date settings in Windows go wrong for no reason. This has nothing to do with Resource it is within the operating system. Often it works to go into "Regional settings" in the Control panel and switch into another language and then go in again and switch back to English.

If so delete the faulty profile and recreate the user account.
