Issue

There are two related issues on the Module Loader screen, which is located at the URL path /index.php?module=Administration&view=module&action=UpgradeWizard.

This page has two sections. There's a top section ("The following extensions are installed on this system:") and a bottom section (not meaningfully labeled, but maybe references packages?).

The top section of the screen shows timestamps like this: 05/15/2020 22:29

The bottom section shows timestamps like this: 2020-05-16 03:06:21.

This presents two problems:

The bottom section is not honoring timezones, i.e. it was not 03:06, it was 22:06.
The bottom section is not honoring date display formats, i.e. it is displaying "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:SS" instead of "MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm".

Expected Behavior

Ideally, timezones are honored and instead of displaying 03:06, it would display 22:06. Alternatively, if timezones cannot be honored, the time displayed should have a label to identify that it is being displayed in UTC time.
All date/time displays are consistent in formatting in both the date ordering, and in the time display showing with or without seconds.

Thank you!
