Jesus Christ. First they fucked over notepad and introduced dozens of application breaking new bugs and broke decades of existing functionality, now they’re thinking about breaking the damn clock ?
Wait, no, they’ve already broken the clock in windows 11 because it no longer shows seconds, and doesn’t respond to clicks on non primary displays.
I guess they decided it wasn’t broken enough.
I’m getting so sick of their shit, and my employer locks down my laptop so tightly that I can’t run any 3rd party software too, so I can’t even install my own clock application.
It’s wild to me that clocks stopped responding on non-primary windows. The first time I noticed that I thought it was broken- and I was right, because there’s zero rhyme or reason for removing that functionality.
I don’t think they removed it, as such, it’s more that they rewrote the clock from scratch and didn’t know the old clock did that, and didn’t care to find out.
Similar to how task manager used to suppress the refresh if shift was being held down and that no longer works in Windows 11 because they rewrote it and never looked at Dave’s original code.

Oh you want to see a fun win11ism? Use the calculator to determine the number of days between 2 dates.
Win 10: 2 fields you type in
Win 11: no typing is possible. You must click and scroll through a calendar ui for each date.
I didn’t even know the calculator could do that.
It borderline can’t now

Is it your laptop, or theirs?
