Sure, though I’d have liked a fix that didn’t need removing the Windows 11 taskbar and instead just displayed the clock, this also functions.
You can view seconds through the old Date & Time settings panel. But there’s no choice in the task bar. I searched for alternatives and found they likely dropped support for seconds to prevent frequent redraws of the taskbar (refresh call). This might be an optimization adjustment since it was handled differently before. Insiders have noticed some enhancements, like a clock on secondary displays. Clearly, Microsoft is working on improvements. If you force seconds visibility, it still doesn’t appear in the taskbar but shows in the notification tray. The seconds remain unchanged. I need to close and reopen the calendar or notifications for them to update.
You're using Windows 11 with startback software and added a registry change to display taskbar clock seconds. It's functioning smoothly now, and you're able to see the seconds as they did in Windows 10. If you still want to recreate that experience, there are methods available to restore the original behavior. Win11 Taskbar Seconds.mp4
