How to fix Windows taskbar showing only half of the date
Windows automatically adjusts the way the date and time are displayed based on factors such as taskbar size, screen resolution, and display scaling.
Sometimes, after an update or a change in system settings, the taskbar might not have enough space to display the full date properly.
I found that will be an issue in a coming update. Unfortunately I do not have the update right now, so I had to borrow the screenshots from the internet, but hopefully it will help people find the solution quicker.
Disable Show abbreviated time and date
To fix the issue, follow these steps:
- Open Settings
- Go to Time & language and go to Date & Time.
- Expand Show time and date in the System Tray.
- Uncheck Show abbreviated time and date.
Once you do this, your taskbar should correctly display the full date.
