Microsoft is bringing back Windows 10’s second hand display after backlash

About a month ago, Microsoft tweaked the interface of Windows 10’s taskbar calendar and removed the clock display from the flyout menu, annoying long-time users who depended on it.

One reason given for the change was to eliminate the seconds display, which supposedly required extra processing resources and burdened the graphical user interface, preventing the PC’s power saving mode from activating and thus causing a performance hit. (Prior to the update, the time display showed accurate to the second.)

Windows Latest now reports that Microsoft has decided to reimplement the clock’s seconds display with the next cumulative update for Windows 10, after heavy criticism from users.

The relevant update is Windows 10 22H2 Build 19045.5912, also known as update KB5058481. According to the release notes, it’s been made available to the Release Preview Channel for Windows Insiders and should be coming to all users with the optional update later this month.
