It's wild to me that clocks stopped responding on non-primary windows. The first time I noticed that I thought it was broken- and I was right, because there's zero rhyme or reason for removing that functionality.
I don't think they removed it, as such, it's more that they rewrote the clock from scratch and didn't know the old clock did that, and didn't care to find out.
Similar to how task manager used to suppress the refresh if shift was being held down and that no longer works in Windows 11 because they rewrote it and never looked at Dave's original code.
I still can’t believe how slow the task manager is in windows 1a, how do you ever release a task manager that is slower than before? Disgraceful developers and managers over there now
