Hey everyone,

I recently had to bid farewell to my aging Toshiba laptop due to its excruciatingly slow boot time and overall sluggishness during operation – not to mention its perpetually stuck lid!

I’ve now upgraded to a snazzy Medion gaming laptop running Windows 11, which required a bit of adjustment coming from Windows 10. For the most part, the transition has been smooth. However, a few days back, I noticed that my clock vanished from the taskbar, possibly following one of the numerous updates Windows 11 has automatically installed within the ten days I’ve owned this laptop. Despite my efforts to rectify the issue by delving into the settings under “Time & Language” and “Date & Time,” I found the option to ‘Show time and date in the system tray’ disabled and unalterable due to a peculiar notification at the top of the page stating that “Some of these settings are managed by your organization.”

Considering I am the sole user on this device, I found this restriction rather exasperating – a common frustration with technology.

Numerous attempts to resolve the problem, including tweaking registry settings, resetting the clock app, and scanning system files, all ended in vain. Frustrated but undeterred, I decided to download an alternative clock app called “Eleven Clock” in hopes of filling the time-keeping void. Alas, my efforts led to a new issue – the battery icon disappeared. As I mulled over the dilemma, an idea struck me to move the clock app to the taskbar overflow section, only to realize there was no apparent option to do so within the system settings.

After several fruitless hours spent troubleshooting (or rather, not troubleshooting), I find myself reaching out to seek assistance. Below are screenshots highlighting the predicament, showcasing the message “Some of these settings are managed by your organization” along with the grayed-out “Show time and date” option, the taskbar sans clock but with the battery icon, and the inverse scenario with the clock displayed (via Eleven Clock) but missing the battery icon.

Your help with this conundrum would be greatly appreciated!
