Microsoft is removing yet another years-old feature in Windows 10

However, if you're the kind of person who often needs to know the exact time down to the second, then KB5053643 could be unfavorable for you. Turns out, with this update, Microsoft is removing the clock display from the flyout menu that's normally accessible by clicking on the time in the taskbar, reports Windows Latest.

This may not sound very dramatic, but it's actually a really annoying change for anyone who regularly needs to know the exact time, whether for synchronization or programming purposes or something else.

After installing KB5053643, the clock—which you can expand by clicking on the time display in the taskbar—only shows the monthly calendar and the day of the week and the current date at the top. Microsoft has completely removed the time display from the flyout menu. (Prior to the update, the time display shows accurate to the second and the day of the week and the current date are displayed below it.)

Nothing changes with the clock display right in the taskbar, but as always you only get to see the hours and minutes there.

Why is Microsoft removing seconds? According to Windows Latest, Microsoft claims that the seconds display in the clock is a burden
