How To Show Seconds In Windows 11 Clock

Last Updated on July 6, 2023 by admin 1 Comment

With default settings, Windows 11 shows a clock on the taskbar. The clock shows time in hours and minutes by default.

While most users do not want to change this default clock setting, some users want to configure the Windows 11 taskbar to display the time in hours, minutes, and seconds. That is, they want to see seconds next to hours and minutes.

For a long time, there was no option in Windows 11 to show seconds in the clock. However, that has changed with a recent update. Windows 11’s taskbar clock can now display seconds as well.

Step 3: Finally, turn on the Show seconds in the system tray clock option to make the Windows 11 taskbar clock show seconds in addition to the default hours and minutes. If the option is unavailable, it’s likely because you are running an older version of Windows 11. Please update Windows 11 to the latest version and try again.

The clock should start showing seconds immediately. If not, restart the taskbar or Windows Explorer process.

NOTE: As per Microsoft, showing the seconds on the taskbar might consume more battery on laptops and tablets. So, if you are looking to get the best battery life, you should not turn it on.
