Want to display Day of the Week on the Windows 10 Taskbar? The blog post has instructions on how to do that.
With default settings, macOS (Catalina) displays the day of the week accompanied by the clock. On the other hand, the Windows 10 Taskbar out of the box only displays data and time. Some users might also want to display the day of the week on the taskbar accompanied by the date and time.
In case, you want to try this trick, then you need to keep two things in mind:
- If you’re using the Small Taskbar button on Windows 10, then the Day of the week will not appear on the Taskbar.
- You can enable the Day of the Week workaround using Control Panel, achieving the same is not possible from the Windows 10 Settings app
