Windows 10: Windows10: Why did the date on my taskbar get really small, can't really read it anymore?

I used to be able to hover the mouse over the time on the right of the taskbar to see the date pop up, but now the pop up is so small i can't even really see it anymore. Is there a way to fix this?

How to display both date and time in the small taskbar? Help me understand the Windows 10 taskbar, or fix it

Hello SonalKarmakar

Good Day!

You may try this steps to possibly fix the issue. Actually, as soon as you switch to small taskbar buttons, the taskbar is no longer wide enough to show the date and therefore just omits it. The solution is really simple:

1. Right-click the TaskBar and make sure that “Lock all taskbars” is UNchecked
   
2. Drag the right edge of the taskbar just to make it slightly wider
   
3. *PLOP* the date shows up.
   
4. (Right-click the TaskBar and activate “Lock all taskbars”)
   

Kind regards

Can I show the date in the taskbar with small Icons?

Hi Nultech

You can only show the date on the taskbar by making it taller, so, that works with both small and large icons on the Taskbar, but the Taskbar needs to be made bigger, which defeats the purpose of small icons, Microsoft really need to look into this . ..

 

Kokonutsu really small

this probably just has to do with incompatibility with my phone, but im just curious.



I have a Samsung Blackjack phone... i downloaded the Kokonutsu game. i had to use the non-touchscreen version for smartphones.. i installed, the game works fine, but the size of it is really small. i put the game on my mom's at&t 8525 touchscreen phone
and its full screen and works fine. just wondering if theres a way to maximize the size of the game on my screen, because playing sudoku is a pain when your looking at a very small screen...
