There are different methods for removing the clock section from the Taskbar. Some of the methods only apply to a specific edition of the Windows operating system. Check the methods and use the one that is available for you.
Method 1: Using the Settings App
Some of the basic settings for the operating system can be found in the Settings app of Windows. The setting for the clock area can be found under the Personalization section. However, this setting can also be used by any standard user on the computer. For more administrator-level settings, you can check other methods in this article. However, if you just want to disable it from the Settings app, then follow the below steps:
Method 2: Using the Local Group Policy Editor
The Local Group Policy Editor allows users to disable specific settings in the Windows Settings app. The setting for removing the clock and date section is listed under Start Menu and Taskbar folder. By enabling the setting, it will remove the clock and date from the system notification area and standard users will be unable to enable it back. However, some settings in Group Policy require a system reboot to apply the changes. Another thing to remember is that the Group Policy Editor is only available on Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions. If you are using a Windows 10 Home operating system, then you need to skip this method and try the other methods.
Method 3: Using the Registry Editor
Another method for disabling the Clock and Time section is by using the Registry Editor. This tool allows users to modify and view the Windows registry values. Unlike the Group Policy Editor, this method requires some additional technical steps from the user. You need to create the missing key and value to make the setting work. The Windows 10 Home users also have access to the Registry Editor and they can use it to disable the clock and time section. We have also included the creating backup step in the below steps; however, you can skip it if you don’t need any backup. Follow the below steps carefully without making any mistakes. Note: If you already used the Group Policy Editor method before trying this one, then the value for the specific setting will be already updated.
