Windows 10 OS is different from its earlier versions, but retains some of the old features. For instance, Windows 10 displays a clock icon in desktop taskbar. The icon resides in the lower-right corner of the screen. The option proves handy for knowing current date and time however, some users find it of little use. As such they prefer removing it from the taskbar properties. This guide will walk you through the process of removing the clock from Windows 10 Taskbar.

If, at any point you feel the previous setting was useful and would like to revert the changes, simply open the Settings app from the Start Menu. Then move to System > Notifications & Actions. Then, click ‘Turn System Icons On or Off’, find the entry for Clock, and set it to On. The clock will reappear on your taskbar requiring no reboot or restart.
It should be noted that, here, you can also turn on or turn off system icons of Volume, Network, Power, Input Indicator, Location, Action Center, etc.
