How to bring back the old classic system tray clock in Windows 10

This simple Registry tweak will let you re-enable the old classic Windows 8.1 / 7 type Clock and Calendar in Windows 10.

Open your Registry Editor, press Win + R, type regedit and hit Enter. (Before editing the Registry, don’t forget to create a backup of your Registry files.)

After opening Registry Editor, navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell

Click on the Immersiveshell folder on your left hand side and create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value in your right hand side.

To create a new DWORD Value, right-click on the empty space of your right hand side, select new and click on DWORD (32-bit) Value.

Name it UseWin32TrayClockExperience. By default, the value would be 0. You have to set the value to 1. To change the value, double-click on UseWin32TrayClockExperience and enter 1 before saving your change.

Right after setting up the value to 1, your new Windows 10 Clock and Calendar will be changed to Windows 7 style Clock and Calendar.
