If you are among the many Windows 10 users hesitant to transition to Windows 11, recent updates may have added a new layer of complexity to your decision. A recent update, specifically Windows 10 KB5055518, has introduced a notable alteration by removing a small yet significant feature from the Calendar Flyout: the display of time, including seconds.
Changes in the Calendar Flyout
This update, rolled out earlier in April, presents a calendar interface that now only shows the day and date at the top, omitting the digital clock that previously provided a clear view of the current time. According to reports from Windows Latest, this change is not universally applied; some users still retain access to the old Calendar flyout, while others have already experienced the removal of this feature.
While this change may seem minor, it holds significance for users who relied on the Calendar flyout for precise timekeeping, especially since the taskbar does not display seconds without delving into the PC’s Registry settings.
For those who find this alteration bothersome, there is a potential remedy: upgrading to Windows 11. However, this comes with its own considerations. As support for Windows 10 is set to conclude in October 2025, users wishing to remain on this operating system beyond that date will face a fee of for an additional year of support.
In a separate report, Windows Latest highlights that Windows 11 preview builds include a feature that allows users to “Show time in Notification Center,” indicating that Microsoft is aware of the demand for time visibility in its newer operating system.
While it remains uncertain whether Microsoft will reinstate the clock in the Calendar flyout for Windows 10 users, the company’s primary focus appears to be on promoting Windows 11. With recent communications outlining seven compelling reasons to upgrade, this seemingly minor change could serve as a catalyst for users to consider making the switch sooner rather than later.
