Windows 10: Taskbar clock settings reset

This morning, the clock on my taskbar shows only 2:27 PM - I had it set up to display the full time, date and day of week - Mon 10/12/2020 on one line, and 2:27 PM on another.


How do I get this back? I think it must have been a Windows Update that caused this problem, since I haven't installed any new apps/programs, and it was working absolutely fine yesterday.

System Icons on taskbar

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:

• 
  Click on the search bar on the taskbar.
  
• 
  Type system icons.
  
• 
  Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.
  

Hope it helps.

Yes. I use this tutorial:

Clock and date on Taskbar missing

My clock and date disappeared from the taskbar in windows 10. After trying various suggestions, none of which worked, but this did work for me:

Right click on an empty space on the taskbar,

Click settings

In the option "Move Taskbar" move it to right or top of the screen and the clock reappears, when I returned the taskbar back to the bottom, the clock and date was still visible.

Obviously a Microsoft Glitch, in the windows 10 Anniversary update. I haven't restarted my PC since, so will be interesting to see if the clock remains there.
