    Time and Date not visible in Taskbar


    Hello,

    i just restarted my computer, did not install anything new and the taskbar now does not show date or time. I tried to increase the size of the taskbar to 3 rows but it still does not show date and time. I have checked the properties and notifications centre and restored them to default. But when i move the mouse to where the time is supposed to be and right click , i can see the time/date properties. I have also checked them nothnig unusual there. I have restored to default wherever possible.In the porperties, it says show clock , i have checked that. but ot no avail.

    Help !

    Hello noofr, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Please go ahead and post back with a screenshot showing the clock area on your taskbar to see if that may be able to help ID what the issue may be. :)

    Using step 3 in OPTION TWO in the tutorial below may be able to enable the "clock" system icon again for you. :)

    System Icons - Enable or Disable

I am looking for a way to hide just the time from the taskbar without hiding the date itself. Alternatively I would be ok with hiding both of them via the normal settings option but keeping a way to access the clocks and calendar via the taskbar.
Noticed on a browser picture submitted by another member that the task-bar displays the time and date. Mine only displays the time. Is this a windows 7 option I can turn on? Looked in properties but could not find out how. 133056
Hello all: I know that I can hide the date in the taskbar by checking "use small icons" in the taskbar properties dialog, but it still shows the time. Is there a way to hide both the date and time in the taskbar? I've looked all over the web, but all of the little apps on offer don't seem quite...
Have set the correct time zone, set the date and time, and within half an hour, the time jumps ahead significantly. Time then continues jumping periodically, and date as well. Any patch available for this? Thanks.
I see that the time is displayed but in spite of setting date it does not show on the taskbar, what am I not doing or doing wrong? Thanks for responding
