Remove Focus Sessions from Clock App

My timer is always pinned to taskbar - it hasn't stopped focus session from popping up when I want to set a timer. Time to search for a new app. Needs to be a way to turn it off!

I have the same problem, it gets very frustrating that half the time I open up the app it goes to focus assist. I just want to use the timer, I don't need the focus assist. Is there a way for me to revert to the previous version when there was no focus assist?

Well here's another person that's bothered by Focus Session :).

The default starting screen of the Clock app should not be Focus Session. It also should not be on the top of the sidebar. There's no reason for it to be at the top other than Microsoft trying to push a new feature on users. I know you're just an independent advisor but you definitely have more influence on Microsoft than us. Please convey that this is unacceptable.

I'm probably going to just disable the Clock app completely at this point.

Well I'm relieved to have resorted to 3rd party solutions. Using a free timer called Hourglass. The thoughtfulness of its design puts Microsoft to shame.

Hi Greg,

The thing for me is that I use the stopwatch very often. And every time I open the clock app, I just don't want to see that "focus session" first. It is okay but there should be a default option or something.

Thanks
