Taskbar located at top, so when I click on time and date and move cursor to drop down window, that window closes. Same for pinned apps. All apps have to be opened from start menu. Frustratingly so!

Display Time and Date on Task Bar?

We appreciate the information you've provided Richard. We would like to ask, does it happen when you use a different user profile on your computer?

We suggest that you check the date and time formats set on your computer. Here are the steps:

• Open Settings.
• Click on Time & language.
• Click on Date & time.
• Under format, click the Change date and time formats link.
• Use the Short name drop-down menu to select the date format you want to see in the Taskbar.
• Use the Short time drop-down menu to select the time format you want to see along with the date.
• Close Settings.

After these steps, see if the date will appear on the Taskbar.

We are eager on getting this resolved for you, we will wait for your feedback.

 

Taskbar location

Hi Todd,

Sudden changes in the location of the taskbar can occur due to misconfiguration in Windows settings. But you don't have to worry, you can modify the location where the taskbar will be displayed. Follow these steps to change the location of your taskbar:

• Right click on your taskbar.
• Choose Taskbar settings.
• Look for Taskbar location on screen. The drop-down button under it will let you choose your preferred location for the taskbar.

Time AND Date on Taskbar

Stuee,

You can generally do it by making your Taskbar taller so it has the space to display more.
You wrote "alongside" but I believe that it can only be done as one on top of the other not side-by-side.








1 Unlock the Taskbar by right-clicking on it and, if Lock the Taskbar has a tick against, it then click on it to remove the tick.
2 Hover your mouse over the top edge of the Taskbar so the cursor changes into a double-headed arrow.
3 Click & drag the taskbar to about double its height & watch the Date appear. Or, if you have the display space to spare, drag'n'drop the taskbar on the left / right edge of the display as it will probably display the date as well as the time in either of those positions.
4 Lock the Taskbar by right-clicking on it and click on Lock the Taskbar to put a tick against it again.



All the best,
Denis
