How to display computer date and time on Windows 10 screen

Many people regret that Windows 10 removed the gadget system, making the date and time display no longer the same as before. Instead, you can use Action Center or utilities developed by programmers to fix this problem.

Windows 10 does not support gadgets or dynamic widgets like Windows 7. This is Microsoft's policy, because these gadgets do not bring many benefits.
