Since a recent Windows 10 update I appear to have lost the date in the
clock in the taskbar. I've had the date + time for years...
I've done the usual things; changed the taskbar's height, locked /
unlocked the taskbar, disabled / enabled use small task bar buttons,
double checked the regional settings, but I still only get the time.
Anyone seen this or can suggest what the problem is?

The only time I've ever seen the date is when hovering the mouse over
the time on
the taskbar or setting the taskbar to double height. Normally you just
see the
24-hour time by default as you did with Windows 7.
I'm at W10 Pro 19045.4291 and I still have BOTH the date (5/12/2024) and
time (5:10 PM) simultaneously on the taskbar (taskbar at normal height). Hovering adds the week day (Sunday) and date with the month in written
form (Sunday, May 12, 2024). Oh oh, I see the laptop's updating right
now... 8-O

I'm at W10 Pro 19045.4291 and I still have BOTH the date (5/12/2024)
and
time (5:10 PM) simultaneously on the taskbar (taskbar at normal
height).
Hovering adds the week day (Sunday) and date with the month in written
form (Sunday, May 12, 2024). Oh oh, I see the laptop's updating right
now... 8-O
After the update I'm now at 19045.4355, same as the OP. And I still
show BOTH the date and time on the taskbar as before.
I just got this new laptop a few days ago so was unfamiliar with the
settings. One of the main reasons I got it was it came with W10 Pro.
But it's been a few years since I messed with (and missed) W10.
Anyway, it turns out that in settings/taskbar there is a switch that
says "Use small taskbar buttons". When I switch it on the taskbar
halves in size and the date disappears showing only the time.
So John is right. The larger taskbar shows both date and time and the
smaller time only. Perhaps this laptop having a 10" screen was why
it's set at the double taskbar in settings, since the smaller taskbar
is pretty much unusable on it.
So to the OP all I can suggest is to check the settings/taskbar
setting for the taskbar size switch. I know you said you tried it but...
I've rebooted, double checked the taskbar size - still can't get the
date back!!

You notice how when you fiddle with that particular control, that the
output is pixel-perfect centered.
When Microsoft did the half-height taskbar (no longer supported),
the materials in the Task Bar were not properly centered or
scaled all that well. It was a bodge job, an accident that it
worked at all. I was using the half-height taskbar, because
it made my VirtualBox window fit better.

No, it seems very well aligned. In fact when hovering over the time and then all the items to the left in that group on the left (task bar is at the bottom) you can see they're all totally aligned, so I don't think the date is in there anywhere.

I've always been a non-serious hobbyist. In recent times I tried to get
along without Windows completely by using just my Android tablets and Chromebooks. It works for 99% of the stuff I do but not all (like having
a decent Usenet newsreader for example). I had actually given away all
my Windows stuff to grand/greatgrandkids. But I finally relented and got
this cheapie 10" W10 laptop to fill in that last 1%. Because of its poor screen resolution the small taskbar icons just don't work for me. Bottom line: That's a lot of words just to say the small/large icon date/no
date taskbar setting is pretty much a YMMV thing...

One of my presumptions, was that for some reason, Microsoft wanted to encourage higher resolution screens. That means selecting a small
screen device, is less likely to be satisfying.
Right now, I would guess Win10 would look better on a given screen,
than Win11. And when Win12 comes out, who knows what horrors await
for rendering.
On some screens, you may see as many as three different rendering
methods at once on the screen. ClearType, Some GrayScale Thing, and
there are even some interfaces using fixed fonts from 1980. It makes
for a jarring experience when you see this. They cannot go backwards
-- they can only "go forward", whatever that means.
The idea is, we're supposed to buy 4K screens, just to have increased
pixel density.

The larger taskbar shows both date and time and the smaller time
only. Perhaps this laptop having a 10" screen was why it's set at
the double taskbar in settings, since the smaller taskbar is
pretty much unusable on it.
Ah ok. I've always used 21" displays for both my W7 and W10 PCs so am
using the small icon setting for the taskbar as others have
mentioned. Not sure I could cope with the reduction of usable screen
area on a laptop...
I've always been a non-serious hobbyist. In recent times I tried to get
along without Windows completely by using just my Android tablets and Chromebooks. It works for 99% of the stuff I do but not all (like having
a decent Usenet newsreader for example). I had actually given away all
my Windows stuff to grand/greatgrandkids. But I finally relented and got
this cheapie 10" W10 laptop to fill in that last 1%. Because of its poor screen resolution the small taskbar icons just don't work for me. Bottom line: That's a lot of words just to say the small/large icon date/no
date taskbar setting is pretty much a YMMV thing...

You can get 22", 24" or 27" external Monitor
that can be hooked to your 10" laptop if it has the necessary ports,
e.g. VGA or HDMI or display port.
You don't have to put up with poor resolutions.
It can be harmful to the eyes.
Investing 100 bucks in a good display monitor is money well spent
IMO.

I'm at W10 Pro 19045.4291 and I still have BOTH the date
(5/12/2024) and
time (5:10 PM) simultaneously on the taskbar (taskbar at normal
height).
Hovering adds the week day (Sunday) and date with the month in

After the update I'm now at 19045.4355, same as the OP. And I still
show BOTH the date and time on the taskbar as before.
I just got this new laptop a few days ago so was unfamiliar with
the settings. One of the main reasons I got it was it came with W10
Pro. But it's been a few years since I messed with (and missed) W10. >>>>>

So John is right. The larger taskbar shows both date and time and
the smaller time only. Perhaps this laptop having a 10" screen was
why it's set at the double taskbar in settings, since the smaller
taskbar is pretty much unusable on it.
So to the OP all I can suggest is to check the settings/taskbar
setting for the taskbar size switch. I know you said you tried it
but...
I've rebooted, double checked the taskbar size - still can't get the
date back!!
I use Windows 11 but for Windows 10 try this article:

Reap the steps line by line and do it on your machine so that it works.
I've no "Show Clock" toggle and there's no "Date & Time" section in
the taskbar settings options
Have you got any 3rd party extensions installed? It looks like these 3rd party extensions or add-ons might be blocking the display. Either
disable it/them or try creating a new user windows account to see if it
is a system defects or user account corruption. If it is a system then
you must have some 3rd party extensions because windows 10 has not
changed for sometime. It makes no difference whether you are on 20"
screen or 27" screen. Windows will scale accordingly.
