Solved How to check your calendar after a good ol' left click on the date/time on your taskbar in Windows 11, without hassles ( Registry Key Fix )

After some research on the internet, and laughing about lvl 1 microsoft support saying that we can't check the calendar after simply left clicking the date/time in the bottom right of the task bar, without having the hard job to click the small arrow, microsoft representatives said we had to check the notifications first and then click the small arrow to see the calendar, or we could install a calendar widget associated to our own e-mail adress and blablabla data.

I'm using a computer, I'm not using a cellphone, I know what is happening here and no, the notifications doesn't have rights to be where the date/time is, specially not on my calendar. ( I'm a millenial )

In between, I found out a simple solution that even microsoft representatives aren't even able to share. They want you to check their publicity, but this topic is not related to the notification pop-up, this will be for a next episode.

This episode, is making our own calendar great again.

First, User be warned, I ask you to save a backup of your Registry Editor before making any changes in the Registry Editor, in a case you make a mistake and you have to go back in time, save your registry on a usb key or whatever suit you best if you arent sure what you are doing. I'm a DOS guy, so I won't talk to childrens, I'll talk to the geeks like me that can't stand microsoft shitness, deal with it.

If you wonder why you should have a backup though, or why you should not make unintended changes in the Registry Editor, I think you should remain with Windows 11 simple minded users options and deal with microsoft shovelness.

Allright, let's start.

Follow every steps carefully, or you will break your system ( no joke ) We will play in the Registry Editor. --> ''Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.''

• Disclaimer, if you make a bad move, or that you didnt backup your original Registry and can't go back in time, NOT MY PROBLEM *

1. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog box
   
   
2. Type ''RegEdit'' and press Enter to open the 'Registry Editor'.
   
   
3. Navigate to the following, EXACTLY ( or you WILL break your system if you change anything not related to my troubleshooting ) ;
   
   
4. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
   
   
5. Look for a DWORD value named 'ShowClock' or similar. If you can't find it, you might need to create it. If you can't see it, heres how to create it ;
   *5. A) Right click on a blank space in the *\Advanced folder, then click New
6. You will now see different choices, but you will have to click this exact value --> 'DWORD 32 bits'
   
   
7. Add it, you will not break anything after clicking left click in a blank space since the default hexadecimal value is set to 0, then right click on it, rename it exactly like that '' ShowClock ''.
   
   
8. Once renamed, right click on it again, Edit.
   
   
9. Change the Binary Value from 0, to 1. Then press OK
   
   
10. Problem Solved.
