Adding seconds to the clock on Windows 11

 

You now have the ability to add seconds to your Windows 11 clock in the taskbar.

Just keep in my that to achieve this, will need to have already installed WIndows 11 May 2023 update (aka Moment 3).

To achieve that, just follow these steps:

1. Open Settings
   
   
2. Click on Personalization
   
   
3. Then click the Taskbar option on the right side
   
   
4. Expand the option Taskbar behaviors
   
   
5. Check the option "Show seconds in system tray clock"
   
   

And that's it! 

Lenovo Power Charging Issue–Solved

I’ve been struggling last week with my Lenovo L480.

For some strange reason it was not charging with ac adapter but it did when using the docking station.
In both cases, Windows battery icon in the taskbar was not showing that the laptop was charging but Lenovo Vantage app was showing that battery was charging.

After doing lot of things like, uninstalling ac adapter drivers from device manager, and a lot of other procedures, the one that worked for me was this one:

1. Shutdown Windows (press shift key and shutdown the laptop)
2. Unplug ac adapter
3. Now, press and hold the power button for 30 seconds
4. The computer would turn off and turn on 2 times
5. Then, let the computer boot up normally
6. Login to Windows
7. Plugin ac adapter and…voilá!

Don’t want the store icon on your users taskbar?

Here’s how to remove it, and don’t allow it to get there again, using group policy.

• Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar
• Find and enable the setting “Do not allow pinning Store app to the Taskbar”

Just remember that you need to have the most edit GPOs from a Windows 10 v1703 or you need to install the most recent ADMX templates for Windows 10.
