Is there a way to view the current day (eg. Wednesday) next to the date and time in the taskbar?
I can never remember the day when I need it, so is there a way to add the day in the taskbar?
Yes, it is possible:
Region and Language
and open it.Additional Settings
Date
tabShort date
to dddd dd/mm/yyyy
. A human would read that as Day of week day/month/year
Note: This will also change the Date Modified
column when viewing files in Windows Explorer.
dddd yyyy-mm-dd
which shows the day of week, followed by the ISO-formatted date. I also suggest stretching your taskbar to two rows high so the clock and notification area doesn't take up so much screen width.
intl.cpl
in the text box, and press Enter.
A simple, low-impact solution is simply to resize your taskbar to be three (or more) rows high:
Also, while this is not, strictly speaking, an answer to your question, we’re on the boundary of XY Problem territory here. You want to find out the day of the week quickly, easily (without having to switch to another window and/or run a command). So just hover your mouse over the date/time panel:
ddd HH:mm
(e.g.: "Fri 11:44"). The time portion of the times in the tooltip appear to match my "Short Time" format, but I don't see where I've set the abbreviated day of week to be included.
