Windows 11: Hide and remove date and time from the taskbar

In Windows 11, the easiest way to change the date and time is through the Settings app. Additionally, you can change the formats to display a 12- or 24-hour clock, or adjust the date to make it easier to read.

Although the system can automatically manage the time in the taskbar, sometimes you need to manually adjust the date and time for various reasons. For example, this may happen if the computer's clock cannot connect to the time servers online, the firmware battery is dead, or you change the geographic location.

Regardless of the reason, it's important to have the accurate time on a computer to avoid connectivity issues with online services and apps, as the system relies on this information to stay safe and functional. If you need to change the time, Windows 11 includes several settings to fix the date and time, as well as change the display formats. You can even adjust the date and time using the Command Prompt or PowerShell.
