Windows 11, which launched last year, is still in talks. With Windows 11, Microsoft has completely changed the look and feel of its Windows operating system. Everything, including the taskbar, start menu, icons, wallpapers, and more, has been updated in the new version of Windows. Since most of the settings have been changed, there is no option in Windows to display seconds in the taskbar clock.
When you sign in to your Windows 11 PC for the first time, you will see that the seconds are not displayed on the clock on the taskbar. There is no internal option to configure it. However, you can use third-party tools to display seconds on the Windows 11 taskbar clock. In this article, we will discuss how to display seconds on the Windows 11 taskbar clock.
Display seconds on Windows 11 taskbar clock
As we discussed above, there is no built-in option to display seconds on the Windows 11 taskbar clock, but you can use third-party tools to do this. You may prefer to use a tool called ElevenClock to display seconds on the Windows 11 taskbar clock. To do this, follow the steps given below:

- Here, expand the “Date and time settings”section and check the “Show seconds on clock”box.
