Earlier this week, Microsoft released Windows 11 version 25H2, bringing customers quite a long list of new features and improvements, which are also available for Windows 11 version 24H2 (they share the same branch and code base). However, Microsoft is still making up its mind on what exactly is included in the changelog, and after claiming that Administrator Protection Preview would release at a later date, Microsoft revealed that a long-standing request has actually made its way to Windows 11 versions 25H2 and 24H2.
Microsoft has updated the official documentation for Windows 11 version 25H2, clarifying that notification and taskbar improvements are now available in KB5065789. With these updates, multi-monitor users can finally open the notification center on the secondary display. Previously, clicking the date and time would bring nothing, forcing users to go to the main display instead. This odd omission (Windows 10 has the same behavior, by the way) has finally been addressed.
Additionally, Microsoft finally brought back the calendar clock in the notification center. You can now open the calendar flyout and see a larger clock with seconds above it. Windows 10 users loved this feature, and it is finally available. By the way, if you would like to add a few more features to the taskbar clock, say, make it show CPU and GPU load, you can use this handy mod that opens vast customization for the tray area.

The calendar flyout clock is turned off by default. If you want to enable it, go to Settings > Time & Language > Date & Time and toggle on the "Show time Notification Center" option.
All these new features are currently available in a non-security update for Windows 11 versions 24H2 and 25H2. To get them, you need to toggle on the "Get the latest updates as soon as they are available" toggle and then download and install KB5065789 (http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/september-29-2025-kb5065789-os-builds-26200-6725-and-26100-6725-preview-fa03ce47-cec5-4d1c-87d0-cac4195b4b4e).
