Desktop Clock App

[RecumbentTim]

I love the desktop clock app. I installed the app which came with Windows 10. I have it pinned to the task bar and put it up sometimes when I am not working on the desktop. It allows me to listen to streaming music while covering the desktop with a black screen. It has a digital clock display in the center.

Exactly what "app" that came with 10 are you referring to? are you talking about "alarm and clock?

No, I thought Windows 10 came with it installed but now I do not see it. This is a brand new installation of Windows 10 and I had forgotten about the clock. Thanks for reminding me. Here is the link;

is there a smaller clock app? I used to have 3 on my desktop for when I ring overseas

I pin the big one to the task bar and when I hover on the icon it gives me a preview which is a smaller size. If you are not working on the pc you can just leave it like that and it will remain popped up as long as you do not move the mouse.

I have read that the gadgets can be downloaded but can pose a security risk so it is not advisable to do that.

I downloaded the Desktop Gadgets (http://gadgetsrevived.com/download-sidebar/) and click on the clock but it doesn't appear on my desktop like it used to, what am I doing wrong?

I advised (above) that the "Gadgets" could pose a security risk and should be avoided. You can google that for more information. I downloaded it anyway and had the same result as you. It is best to just remove the utility from your system and forget about it. Still, it is your choice and if you insist, you could try other Gadget downloads and perhaps you will find one which is compatible with Windows 10 and will show the clock on your desktop.

How do I remove it please.

Right click on the start button (lower left) and then select "Programs and Features". Then Right Click Gadgets in the list and click the "uninstall or Remove" box. Done.
