Even though Microsoft’s new operating system – Windows 11, looks good and offers many useful features, it has many flaws that can force you to reinstall any older version of Windows.
If we leave behind the bugs and glitches, Microsoft also removed some important features from its new operating system. For example, the system information page is no longer available, the Start menu customization options have been limited, and more.
Also, Microsoft removed the ability to hide dates and times from the system tray. You read that right; using Windows 11, you can’t hide the date and time from the system tray.
Since there’s no direct option to hide the system tray clock in Windows 11, you either need to use third-party apps or change the clock settings to prevent date & time from appearing in your system tray.
