Windows 10: Date and Time Keep Popping Up - Please Help

Hello,
Since I upgraded to Windows 10, many things have been problematic. However, my issue currently is that the Date and Time keep popping up and remain popped up. I am referring to the one which shows and entire month calendar, along with the time, day, etc. It would usually occur upon clicking on the time and date in the lower left hand corner. Whenever I click that to get rid of the expanded version, it shows up again a few seconds later as if I clicked on it.

I have searched everywhere for an answer and cannot find one.

Please help! Thank you!

:)

 

Date and Time Popping Up Without Prompting

Date and Time keeps popping up from the task bar without being clicked on. It's happening most when typing an email out in Outlook. We've restarted the machine, but I didn't see anything in settings that could prevent the popup.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you!

 

Date and Time Popping Up Without Prompting

Hello,



I would suggest you to try the below methods and check if it helps.

Method 1:

Perform System File Checker (sfc) scan.

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.



To perform SFC Scan, refer to the below link:

Note: Steps mentioned for Windows 8/8.1, will work fine with Windows 10.



Method 2: Clean boot.

I request you to place the computer in Clean boot and check if it helps.



A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows.
You may also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot.



Follow the link to place your computer in Clean boot:

Disclaimer: To start the computer in normal mode refer the section,
"How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting"
from the link above.



Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.



Thank you.

 

Hi,
Welcome to the forum

One thing I can think to check is the settings for the track pad on your laptop
These sometimes have options for swiping and it could be that yours is set for this, so accidentally swiping the right hand side is triggering the action centre to open

 

Recently installed Windows 10, but I had the same problem with Windows 7. In windows 7 it was the 'soft key board' that was stealing my pointer. Now it is the Date and Time window that keeps popping up. I have tried so many things I cannot count them anymore. It is driving me completely nuts!
Help!!
