Where has the time gone in my pop-out calendar via the taskbar?

Hi there,

My PC has seemingly installed the "2025-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5053606)" and in doing so has removed the clock/time that used to be shown when click such in the corner of the taskbar. It now just gives me the calendar and then repeats the date? I've look through all my settings but can't seem to find how to add it back. Would anyone know?

Apologies - complete novice, just wanting to check the time.Image

    Hello librarianbadger,

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    It sounds like the recent update might have changed some settings on your PC. Let's try to restore the clock/time display on your taskbar.

    1. Check Taskbar Settings:

    • Right-click on the taskbar and select "Taskbar settings".

    • Scroll down to the "Notification area" section and click on "Turn system icons on or off".

    • Ensure that the "Clock" option is turned on.

    2. Check Date and Time Settings:

    • Go to "Settings" > "Time & Language" > "Date & Time".

    • Make sure your time zone is set correctly and that the "Set time automatically" option is enabled.

    3. Restart Explorer:

    • Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.

    • Find "Windows Explorer" in the list, right-click it, and select "Restart".

    I hope the information above is helpful.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

    Best Regards,

    Daisy Zhou
