Show seconds in the taskbar clock in Windows 11

If you want to display seconds in the taskbar, more specifically in the default clock, this is possible.

It is currently not possible to display the seconds via the settings by default. An option is currently being tested in the developer Windows insider program for Windows 11. This option to show seconds may come later in a newer – not yet available – version of Windows 11.

So, to display the seconds in the taskbar a third party app is needed. You can use the ElevenClock app for this. After installing this free app, you can display the seconds in the clock at the notification area in the taskbar.
