Windows 10: Alarms and Clock app gets updated UI for Windows 10 Insiders

Alarms & Clocks version 10.2012 introduces a major revamp to its UI. This may be the first Sun Valley stuff that chips to Windows Insiders in the Dev channel.

For about a month or two we know that Microsoft is working on a major design update codenamed “Sun Valley” that will bring many UIs and apps within Windows in line with each other (although Mail and Calendar are for some reason excluded from that), and it looks like Alarms & Clock is the first test subject.

Let’s go over each tool in Alarms & Clock to see what’s new.

Alarms and Clock app not working in Windows 10

Certain features of the Alarms and Clock app are not working in Windows 10.

The main reason I use this app is for the Timer, which currently is not working.

• I cannot create a new timer.
• I cannot remove the default timer that is there when the app is first run.
• I cannot edit the default timer

I have read the " Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store" article and tried the following steps.

• Checking for updates.
• Resetting the app.
• Running the app troubleshooter

None of this has fixed the issue I am facing. The Alarm function of this app is also showing the exact same issues.

Please advise.

Hi Matthew,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing with Alarm and Clock app, try the below and check if it helps.

I would like to inform that, you need to close the Windows Store and other apps before executing
the PowerShell command. Also, sign-out and sign-in before installing the apps from the store.
I suggest you to take this as a precaution before performing the troubleshooting steps.

Step 1: To uninstall Alarm and Clock app
follow the below steps.

• Press Windows key, type
  Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
• Enter the command: “get-appxpackage *Microsoft.WindowsAlarms* | remove-appxpackage” (Without quotes) on the
  PowerShell and hit Enter.

This will uninstall the Alarm and Clock app and then you can reinstall the app from Windows Store. Before re-installing, I suggest you to perform
Step 2 and proceed.

Step 2: Run
WSReset.exe .

• Press Windows+R key to open
  Run box
• Enter wsreset.exe in the Run command and then click
  OK.
• Restart your computer and install the app.
