Windows 10: How show the date in the system tray having the small icons enabled

Aren't my system tray icons small enough ?

 

I think your Resolution and/or dpi scaling may have a bearing on whether it works with both large and small Taskbar icons.

The Time and Date show for me using small Taskbar icons at 1920x1080, default 100% dpi:

 

Here are my computers all of which have the Use small taskbar buttons" option disabled...................

Ace Aspire 7741Z : Res 1600x900. DPI 100%
Intel Compute Stick CS125 : Res 1280x768 DPI 100%
Surface 3 : Res 1920x1280 DPI 150%
Surface Pro1 : Res 1920x1080 DPI 150%

 

Exactly, that is the reason I asked.

Well, yes, it depends on, they are not that big, but I guess my ones are smaller.

Yes, a good point, that might be the reason.

Many computers, yes, that's it, the system tray / symbols are as small as I wanted them.

 

Yes, may be it is not the resolution alone doing it, who knows...yes, yes, the same problem with me, the age...almost dead...
