Start Menu Clock

Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to add a clock to the start menu? Right now I either have to go to the desktop or lock screen to find out the time.

Also, is it possible to create buttons for locking/shutdown/restart/sleep, I know how to do these things multiple other ways, but it would make the new beta less of a hassle.

Cheers

Try to move your cursor to the upper or lower right corner of your screen, and the magic happens :)

Hmm, thank you didn't notice that extra clock. Do you know if there are any apps on the market that will fill in a box with misc info? Or create shortcuts?

What comes to the clock, at least you can't download it from the store. But to create those shortcuts it is possible, and easy :)

Create a new shortcut to the desktop

Write the location
The location for shutdown is C:\Windows\system32\shutdown

Remember to write the parameters correctly. that example makes your computer to restart.

shutdown /s /t 0 Shuts computer down shutdown /s /f /t 0 forces all of the programs to close and shuts down.
shutdown /r /t 0 Restarts shutdown /r /f /t 0 forces all of the programs to close and restarts.
shutdown /hybrid /t 0 Performs a hybrid shutdown shutdown /hybrid /f /t 0 forces all of the programs to close and performs a hybrid shutdown.

Paste the shortcut here

C:\programdata\microsoft\windows\start menu\programs

there you go, you can also change the icon in the same way you would change it to any other program (right click>properties>shortcut>change icon)


Hope it helps :)
