    Task bar squished the time against the side of the screen


    My task bar has changed to this weird format where all my apps have been pushed to the left and the wifi icons have been set to the middle. On the right side there should be the time, but its just a bunch of empty space. I suspect it has something to do with the windows ink workspace but Im not sure how to fix it. The time has been pushed underneath and to the right all of the other stuff. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Clock, date and time missing from task bar

    Can someone, please provide me with a answer to my question above? I tried all the suggestions. The suggestions containing steps, do not show up as described. For example: Click on an empty space on the task bar, click customized notifications, turn clock
    on. None of this steps show up on the drop menue.

    Task bar squished the time against the side of the screen

    Address bar (top screen) & task bar (bottom screen) keep disappearing

    Most likely Tablet Mode, as dmholt57 suggests.

    Turn On or Off Tablet Mode in Windows 10

    Another posibility is accidentally pressing F11 which switches a browser to full screen mode.
