Windows 7 system tray date display not appearing

clockdatenotification-areawindowswindows 7

I'm using Windows 7 RC and for some reason, the date won't show at all on my system tray. It used to for a while, but one day it just stopped (I didn't even notice it until someone pointed it out).

So I've been trying to fix it, by customizing the format of the date, resetting to defaults, etc… But nothing works, it still doesn't show.

The time appears fine.

Make sure you have not changed your taskbar to use small icons only. This removes the date from the taskbar and only shows the time.

  • Right Click Taskbar
  • Properties
  • Use small icons
