Windows 11 has introduced a new feature that allows users to display seconds in the taskbar clock. Initially, Microsoft cautioned that enabling this feature might result in increased power consumption and shortened battery life. However, subsequent tests have revealed that displaying seconds reduces the standby time of Windows 11 by a mere 1.892%, a difference so small as to be insignificant. Historically, Microsoft opted not to show seconds by default in Windows 11 due to performance concerns, but now users can effortlessly enable this feature through the settings menu.
