    Seeing the day on the taskbar is useful. Annoying to have our hands tied like this and losing features that were good in windows 10. Please let us unlock the taskbar to see the day and date, rather than just hte date and time.

    So what you are saying is it is time to revert back to windows 10 until this feature is added?

    My computer tech support guy gave me a solution: Is a small registry file like Take Ownership called Explorer Patcher. I found it on Softpedia & what it does is convert the taskbar back to the Windows 10 format style. Also that Take Ownership is one that allows you to right click any file/folder & unlock all permissions instead of going through all of the hoops from before. Both of these are freeware. & I am on Windows 11 Pro & they both work great.

    Well, i have three hard drives and two of them have windows 10 pro installed on them. They are my games drives. So yes i did this because windows 11 pro, does not yet have the unlock taskbar feature, of which i am not impressed why they did not keep this feature, the priority drive is windows 11 pro to boot first to, this is what i use for my video edit exc exc. Infact they have just released AN UPDATE H ----2, so i thought great, i hope they have returned the taskbar unlock feature. But no they didnt. Gutted.
