Incorrect date format showing in the Power BI Service (believe I've check the needed)

Hi
Please see the below screenshot. You will notice the 'Disclosure Date' in the slicer visual is appearing as MM/DD/YYY format. What I require is the date to appear as DD/MM/YYYY.
I've checked/confirmed my language settings are configured to be English (United Kingdom) in the following places:
1) Windows OS Language settings
2) Power BI 'Regional Settings' using 'Use Windows default display language' (which is English (United Kingdom) - see 1))
3) Chrome browser 'Languages' settings configured to be English (United Kingdom)
4) Set the particular date in question as Short Date (dd/mm/yyyy) and have set the date as the date table.

I believe I have checked all the areas, to configure the date to English (UK) format, but it still isn't showing correctly. You can even see the last refresh date, that actually appears at the top of the report page, is showing correctly, but not the date in the report's slicer. The same 'Disclosure Date' date is appearing correctly (UK format) when it's placed in a table visual. There must be something about the slicer visual (maybe).
Can anyone advise?

@Shahfaisal - thanks. I had it set to 'English'. Changing it to the default browser option worked.
