How to enable seconds in system clock

Title says it all.

Found this article, which had a couple suggestions: https://winaero.com/how-to-enable-seconds-for-the-taskbar-clock-in-windows-11/

" Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar behaviors, and check the “Show seconds in system tray clock” option."

Is not there for me

Tried registry fixes, but that made it worse and actually removed the system clock all together, while also breaking the start menu completely. Had to undo that change and now back to square one.

Why on Earth would Microsoft remove the seconds from the clock? I use it quite often for a game I play.. Very frustrating when they remove common sense features like this. Really looks like MSoft put some extremely incompetent people in charge of Win 11. Reminds me of when they hired the guy from Nike to design Win 8 Metro UI. I think we all remember how that went!!

EDIT: WAS fixed for about 2 months with April update, but now it's gone again!!!

Someone from Microsoft owes me an explanation!!

    It's now showing up after latest update. And performance is much better too! Win 11 might actually be out of beta finally :)

    Your text looks like this for me: 22H2 (OS Build xxx xx xxxx), this is to prevent you from accidentally sharing your private information here, can you send it again but maybe with some extra spaces,

    and also you may be able to get new updates after you restart the device so can you try again to see if some new updates are available.

    if it is not available then I would recommend you wait until the next update to get this feature, it may not be available because of your location or the device that you are using, but the feature should be back soon.

    Let me know if this doesn't work or if you need further assistance.

    KInd regards
