Show time/date on taskbar

Solution 1:

The time (not the date) does show up by default. To (re)add it:

  1. Right click on the taskbar

  2. Click properties

    Click for full size

  3. Click Customize... for Notification Area

    Click for full size

  4. Click Turn system icons on or off...

    Click for full size

  5. Turn on Clock

    Screenshot
    Click for full size

Solution 2:

  • Right click on the taskbar and select properties
  • In the Notification area heading, click the Customize button
  • Click on the "Turn system icons on or off"
  • The first item should be clock. Select on instead of off.
  • Click ok.

Additionally, if Time is seen but not Date, you might need to uncheck "Use small icons"

You'll need to right click on the Taskbar, select Properties, then uncheck the box for "Use small icons" enter image description here
