Win11 Build 23419 preview hide feature, system tray can hide time and date display

CTOnews.com March 25, Twitter users and Microsoft watcher @ PhantomOfEarth recently dug into the update of the preview version of Win11 Build 23419 released a few days ago and found that they can hide the time and date in the system tray by modifying the registry.

Another netizen @ thebookisclosed also shared the effect of modifying the registry. After enabling, the option of "hide time and date in system tray" has been added to the option of setting the time and date applied.

CTOnews.com reported in February this year that strings such as "hide taskbar clock", "hide time and date in system tray" and "open this to hide time and date information in the corner of the taskbar" were found in Build 25300.

The relevant steps are as follows:

1. Open the Registry Editor

two。 Visit the HKCU\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Explorer\ Advanced path

3. Create a new 32-bit DWORD value named HideSystrayDateTimeValueName

4. Set it to 1

5. In theory, it should take effect immediately. If it doesn't work, you can try to restart the computer.
