Windows 11 is finally here, and with it a new feature called the Multi-Monitor Taskbar Clock. This new feature allows you to have multiple monitors connected to your computer at the same time, and it works great! The Multi-Monitor Taskbar Clock is a great way to keep track of your work on two different screens. You can see what you’re working on on one screen and then take a break on another screen while you continue working on the first. It’s a great way to stay organized and focused on your work. The Multi-Monitor Taskbar Clock is available in Windows 10 and Windows 11, and it’s free to use. You can find it in the taskbar under “Tools.”
The date and time returning to multiple monitors were first revealed in a preview build of Windows 11 back in December 2021. Now, Microsoft announced that it’s bringing it to the Beta and Release preview channels. That means it’ll be available to all Windows 11 users very shortly. Generally, updates in the Release Preview come to all users after a few days.
This change doesn’t make the taskbar perfect in Windows 11, as it’s still not entirely up to par with Windows 10, but this is a massive step in the right direction. Because the taskbar is such a critical part of the way we interact with our PCs, it’s important that Microsoft gets it right.
Another feature making its way to the Beta and Release builds is the quick mute option on the taskbar, which was added to the Dev channel previously.
The update also comes with all sorts of fixes and tweaks that won’t change the way you use Windows 11, but they’re still good to see.
