Add Clock to the second Display in Windows 11

⚠️Microsoft has added Clock to the secondary displays in Windows 11, so this article is no longer relevant. If you do not see Clock, make sure you have Build 22000.527 installed at least⚠️(Reference)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the main talking points about Windows 11 is the redesigned Taskbar, written from scratch in the modern design language. As it was written from scratch, some features are missing in Windows 11 taskbar compared to Windows 10, like drag and drop items between applications, no clock on the Second display, smaller Taskbar, etc(details here).

This article explains how to add Clock on the secondary display in the Taskbar using a small utility called ElevenClock, from Github.

Add Clock to the secondary Taskbar in Windows 11

Although the feature may be returning in the future in WIndows 11 through feature updates, the initial 21H2 release of Windows 11 does not support Clock on the Secondary displays. Courtesy of ElevenClock at GitHub, you can also show the clock on the other screens.

How to Run ElevenClock

To Run ElevenClock, download the program from the releases page:

https://github.com/martinet101/ElevenClock/releases

The installation is quite simple, and when done, it runs in the background without user intervention.

The developer has listed its features below:

  • It supports all system locales and time formats (they are pulled from the OS)*

  • It shows in all displays except in the primary one (Because you have the default system clock)

  • It supports dark and light theme

  • It has a hide button to prevent annoying on full-screen

  • It imitates Windows 11's taskbar clock animation on hover

  • It supports taskbars on the top of the screen

  • It supports seconds enabling via locale or regedit (windows 11's default clock can't do that)

  • ElevenClock downloads and installs updates automatically, so you don't have to

  • Clicking the clock shows/hides the notifications and calendar panel

  • Correct alignment and size on HiDPi displays (100%, 200%, 300%) AND on fractional HiDPI displays(125%, 150%, 175%, 250%, etc.)*

  • Correct alignment and size on Different-scaled monitors (Display1: 100%, Display2: 150%, Display3: 225%, etc.)*

  • The clock updates the time each second, so you won't see different times across all your taskbars

  • The clock also adjusts itself automatically when (dis)connecting monitors

  • Automatically starts at login

Now add an option to display it on the left side of the taskbar! With us unable to attach the taskbar to the left, thus having the time in the bottom left side of the screen, I'd to at least have that.

They will eventually, similar things happened when Windows 10 was new, honestly upgrading to Win11 this early was a mistake, guess we will have to deal with this third party solution until Microsoft sorts their stuff

Thanks for the suggestion. I dare not install these kinds of files. Afraid of infecting my PC with virus. Microsoft should've just fix this issue... it's just a clock.... how hard can it be?
