Your Windows 11 Calendar flyout finally knows what time it is but only if you do this

Windows 11 has reintroduced the clock feature in the Calendar flyout, which was removed in a previous update. This feature is currently available only to users on Insider build 22635.5240 (23H2) within the Beta Channel, and is not accessible to those on stable versions of Windows 11. To enable the clock, users must use a tool called ViveTool, execute a command in the Command Prompt, and adjust settings in the Date & time settings page.

Windows 10: Update Makes Annoying Change That Windows 11 May Fix

A recent update to Windows 10, specifically KB5055518, has removed the digital clock from the Calendar Flyout, which previously displayed the current time including seconds. This change affects some users while others still have access to the old Calendar flyout. Users who relied on this feature for precise timekeeping may find it bothersome, as the taskbar does not show seconds without modifying Registry settings. Upgrading to Windows 11 is suggested as a potential remedy, especially since support for Windows 10 will end in October 2025, after which users will need to pay for additional support. Windows 11 preview builds include a feature to show time in the Notification Center, indicating Microsoft's awareness of the demand for time visibility.

Microsoft removed the clock from Windows 10… so it could reintroduce it in Windows 11

Microsoft has reintroduced the Clock feature to the Calendar flyout in Windows 11, which had previously been removed. Users can now see the time in the notification center, addressing complaints about the inconvenience of not having this functionality. Additionally, Microsoft is working on other enhancements, including a revamped Start menu, improved widgets, and an AI-powered search feature for Copilot+ PCs, although the rollout timeline for these updates is uncertain.

Microsoft starts trimming the clock on Windows 10

Microsoft is testing a change that removes the seconds display from the Calendar flyout in Windows 10, coinciding with the operating system's approaching end-of-support date in October. The update to build 19045.5737 includes bug fixes but strips away the clock feature for some users as part of an A/B testing phase. User reactions on platforms like Reddit indicate frustration over this change, which may be linked to the new Outlook application introduced earlier this year. Restoring the previous functionality requires technical skills in registry editing, and the new design is criticized for providing less information and having a visually unappealing layout. While Windows 11 still supports the seconds display, some Windows 10 users do not have this feature. Microsoft has also released a checklist advising Windows 10 users to consider upgrading their machines.

Windows 10 is getting downgraded again — here’s what Microsoft is taking away this time

Microsoft is piloting a change for Windows 10 that removes the clock displaying seconds from the Calendar flyout as part of the Patch Tuesday update, which upgrades systems to Build 19045.5737. This change is currently in A/B testing, with some users still seeing the seconds display while others do not. Discussions on Reddit reveal user dissatisfaction with the modification, and some speculate it may be related to the new Outlook application integrated into Windows 10. Users can restore the clock with seconds through a registry edit, although this may be challenging for some. The updated Calendar flyout has a less informative interface with larger gaps between content, contrasting with Windows 11, which still supports the seconds display in the taskbar.

Microsoft is removing one of my favorite features from Windows 10

Microsoft is phasing out legacy features from Windows 10 and Windows 11, including the Control Panel. Recent updates have led to a loss of "seconds" precision in the Calendar Taskbar flyout for Windows 10 users. This change mirrors a similar feature removal in Windows 11, where users initially lacked the option to display seconds. Currently, Windows 10 users do not have a toggle to restore this feature, and the impending end of support for Windows 10 raises concerns about the prioritization of user feedback.
