Show Seconds In Taskbar

Follow the instructions cautiously and you should not have any issues.

To get started, open the Registry Editor by clicking Start, typing “regedit” into the box at the bottom of the Start menu, and pressing Enter. Give the Registry Editor permission to make changes to your PC.

In the Registry Editor, use the left sidebar to navigate to the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

Right-click the “Advanced” key in the left pane and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value

Name the value ShowSecondsInSystemClock and press Enter.

Double-click the value you just created, enter a value data of 1, and click “OK”.

You will need to close the Registry Editor and sign out and sign-in again before your changes will take effect.

If you want to undo this, return here and either delete the “ShowSecondsInSystemClock” value or set its value data to “0”.
