Controversial decision of Microsoft before leaving it

It remains very little at the end of Windows 10. The one who is always the most used computer operating system in the world will be abandoned by Microsoft next October, in order to take an official support. In this way, Windows 10 will stop receiving updates of all kinds, both new functions and security.

In honor of the company, it must be said that Microsoft is carrying out his word and Continue to launch updates for Windows 10 each month Instead of concentrating 100% on Windows 11; However, many users want Microsoft to leave them calm, because many of these updates will get it instead of improving it. Far from helping users who want to continue using Windows 10 or who have no other alternative, Microsoft makes things more difficult.

We have a good example in the last update that already reaches Windows 10 users on the occasion of the traditional patch on Tuesday; As revealed Windows lastThis is the 19045 5737 version which, according to Microsoft's official documentation, only serves to solve certain security problems discovered in the system. But in reality, the update has secretly applied a very boring change, and that for the moment, only some users have discovered: The latter have disappeared from the Windows 10 clock.

Indeed, it is a small change, but that is precisely why many people ask why Microsoft waste time with it. In addition, for many users The second clock is very importantAnd now they have lost it completely and without an official way to recover it. Microsoft has not made public declarations in this regard, perhaps because the company has not yet applied the modification to all computers.

Some users who installed the latest Windows 10 update have discovered that Windows 10 is no longer able to display the seconds of the hour; Not only that, but if they open the calendar by clicking on the clock, Full time is no longer displayed as now. The interface has changed and now displays the date in larger and daring letters, which was previously shown just below the clock.

There are clues that indicate that this change is the consequence of another controversial decision that Microsoft has recently made: the installation of the new Outlook application compulsory. Remember that Microsoft last February launched an update for Windows 10 which installed this new application as a substitute for old mail and calendar applications. It was already a decision highly criticized by users, who believe that The new Outlook application is not up to In the absence of features, low performance and inclusion of advertising; And now we have to add the elimination of the latter to the list.

As the application of the calendar was in charge of everything related to the dates and time of the calendar widget, it is possible that the new perspective is now in charge of the same thing, and that its version of the calendar simply does not show time and eliminates the seconds. Without an official declaration of Microsoft, it is difficult to say.

In Windows 11, users have an option in the configuration that allows them to display the seconds of the clock; The system warns that if we activate it, we will consume more electricity, but many people always prefer to have a reagent in sight. In Windows 10, Users no longer have this option. It would be strange if it was a Microsoft tactic to force users to go to Windows 11, but more strange things have been seen.

There is always the possibility that Microsoft solves this problem in a future update. But when approaching the month of October, this type of updates that break the elements of the system They are more dangerousBecause when the end of the support arrives, they may no longer be fixed.
