This tutorial will show you how to setup and show up to two additional clocks for different time zones on the taskbar for your account in Windows 11.
Windows can display up to three clocks on the taskbar: one for the local time and two additional clocks for different time zones. After you set up additional clocks, you can view them by clicking on or hover the pointer over the taskbar clock.
Starting with Windows 11 build 26040 (Canary), when you hover over the date and time in the system tray, the tooltip will now always show a clock even when you only have a single clock added.
Each addition clock is saved to the registry keys below:
Clock 1 = HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\TimeDate\AdditionalClocks\1
Clock 2 = HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\TimeDate\AdditionalClocks\2
EXAMPLE: Additional clocks for different time zones on taskbar
Here's How:
1 Open Settings (Win+I).
2 Click/tap on Time & language on the left side, and click/tap on Date & time on the right side. (see screenshot below)
3 Click/tap on Additional clocks (control timedate.cpl,,1). (see screenshot below)
4 Do step 5 (add) or step 6 (remove) below for what you want.
5 Add Additional Clock(s)
A) Check Show this clock for the clock(s) you want to add. (see screenshot below)
B) Select time zone you want for the clock(s).
C) Enter display name you want for the clock(s).
D) Click/tap on OK.
6 Remove Additional Clock(s)
This is the default setting.
A) Uncheck Show this clock for the clock(s) you want to remove, and click/tap on OK. (see screenshot below)
That's it,
Shawn Brink
