In all windowses before 10 I could just pull the taskbar up and I could see which day it is:

How can I get my weekday back without having to hover over the clock?


You can use https://github.com/White-Tiger/T-Clock for this, it provides many other options beside custom formats for the clock


The weekday will be shown on your horizontal taskbar when you either

  • Have Small Taskbar Icons enabled and the Taskbar is at least 3 rows high or
  • Have Small Taskbar Icons disabled and the Tasbar is at least 2 rows high

If you use the vertical taskbar

  • You need to have it at least 80 pixels wide @ 100% scaling

If you can't pull on your taskbar to resize it right-click it and uncheck Lock all taskbars
