If the extra clocks don’t look right

The clocks don’t show when you point to the time. Make sure the taskbar clock is turned on, and that you checked Show this clock for each one.
A clock is off by an hour. Daylight saving time may be the cause. Check Adjust for daylight saving time automatically on the Date & time page, and install the latest updates, which include time zone changes.
You picked the wrong place. Time zones are listed by their offset from UTC and a few major cities. Look for a city in the same zone as the one you want.
The clocks are missing on your second monitor. Windows 10 only shows the clock on the main taskbar, so check the main display.

Frequently asked questions

How do I change my own time zone?

Your own time zone is set separately; the steps to change the time zone in Windows 10 cover it. If you only need one zone, such as Manila, set Philippine time in Windows 10 instead.

My main clock is wrong. How do I fix it?

Set it right by following the steps to change the date and time in Windows 10.

Can the extra clocks show 12-hour or 24-hour time?

They follow the format of your main clock, so change the time format in Windows 10 to switch all of them.

Is it the same in Windows 11?

Almost. In Windows 11, go to Settings > Time & language > Date & time and select Additional clocks. The rest of the steps are the same.

Do the extra clocks show on the lock screen?

No. Only your main time shows on the lock screen. Use the Alarms & Clock app or the taskbar clock to see the others.

Can I rename a clock later?

Yes. Open the Additional Clocks tab again, change the name in Enter display name, and select OK. A short name, like a city or a person’s name, is easiest to read.

Do the extra clocks change my PC’s time?

No. They only show the time somewhere else. Your PC’s own time and time zone stay the same, so apps and reminders aren’t affected.

Rather have less on the taskbar? You can hide the clock on the taskbar in Windows 10. On a newer PC, here is how to show multiple clocks in Windows 11.

Both features are explained in Set time, date, and time zone settings in Windows and How to use the world time clock in the Clock app in Windows.
