Problem CreateProcessWithLogonW with Date Format Windows 10 v.1703

I have the following code, where I raise a process using other Windows credentials provided in an external source.

Code:

 public static void ImpersonateProcess_WithProfile(string appPath, string domain,
        string user, string password)
    {
        ImpersonateProcess(appPath, domain, user, password, LogonFlags.LOGON_WITH_PROFILE);
    }

    private static void ImpersonateProcess(string appPath, string domain, string user,
        string password, LogonFlags lf)
    {
        StartupInfo si = new StartupInfo();
        si.cb = Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(StartupInfo));
        ProcessInfo pi = new ProcessInfo();

        if (CreateProcessWithLogonW(user, domain, password,
        lf,
        appPath, null,
        0, IntPtr.Zero, null,
        ref si, out pi))
        {
            CloseHandle(pi.hProcess);
            CloseHandle(pi.hThread);
        }
        else
        {
            throw new System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception(Marshal.GetLastWin32Error());
        }
    }

This program works perfectly for me in the version of windows 7,8 and 10 ..

But in windows 10 version 1703 I am dealing with an error by date format (Said error thrown by validations of the running process) .. I do not understand why this happens only with this version.

The error comes because the running process expects the date format to be dd / MM / yyyy. But I repeat this only happens to me only in this version of Windows 10 and sharing the same date format in all the versions I've tried.

Finally i found a solution that helped me.

I just create a bat file where i change the system date format and then i run my .exe

@echo off
reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\International" /f /v sShortDate /t REG_SZ /d "dd/MM/yyyy" >nul
app.exe

This works for me.
