Same Here, does not show additional clocks W11 Pro Version 25H2 (OS Build 26200.7171). When dealing with Multiple Time Zones, it's a great reference tool.

I am surprised I could not find a correct answer to this question. After playing around I expanded the 'Show time and date in the System' tray carrot. This wasn't obvious to me as the carrot looked like it was already expanded to me (not traditional right and down standard, up and down instead). There it displayed two option time zones to set.

@Len Specht Thank you for posting the screenshot! I was running around like a crazed rabbit trying to find a "carrot" :) Microsoft has botched this up for no good reason. Why hide these settings? A search for "clock" or "additional" in setting also does not reveal these settings.

Go back to first principles:
• Open Command Prompt (Windows Key + R) to open the Run dialog box
• Type the following command exactly: timedate.cpl
• Press Enter or click OK
• "Date & Time" window will open. Click "Additional Clocks" tab at the top
• Add your clock (choose the UTC + and you have the option to name it

NB: Once you complete the above, then the additional clock will appear only once you hover your mouse pointer over the date and time clock widget in the task bar

Very helpful thanks. But I can't understand why Microsoft has intentionally made something that was so easy (and used a lot by people like me who travel internationally for work, and have colleagues across different time zones) so obscure. Seems like Microsoft has also gone back to first principles...make something hard that can be easy!

Hi,

It seems that the Additional Clocks option has been removed from the stable version for now and is currently only available in the Insider build. To add clocks, try the following:

Open Control Panel
Set the view by Category
Click on Clock and Region > Change the time zone
In Date and Time window, click on Additional Clocks
From there, you just have to enable them and apply your preferred setting

In Windows 11, the Additional Clock feature can typically be accessed through the Date & Time settings. However, if it does not show up, it may be due to the following reasons:

User Privileges: Ensure that you have administrative privileges, as some settings might be restricted for standard users.
Windows Version: Verify that your Windows 11 version is up to date, as certain features may not be available in older versions or may have been affected by updates.
Settings Navigation: You can try navigating to the Date & Time settings by right-clicking the Start menu, selecting Settings, then going to System > Date & Time. Look for options related to additional clocks there.
System Issues: If the feature is still not visible, it may be a system issue that could potentially be resolved by restarting your computer or checking for Windows updates.

If you continue to experience issues, consider checking the Windows support forums or contacting Microsoft support for further assistance.
