    How do i turn off the Hourly Time Announcement?


    My Lenovo X250 gives me an annoying hourly time announcement and I cant turn it off. I cant even find this tool online or find anyone with the same issue. I dont know if its a windows, lenovo or a third party feature.

    I installed Windows 10 on my desktop and it is on there too! How do i get rid of this?

    Isn't that something you set as part of your calender options?

    Right click the TaskBar and start the TaskManager. Go to the Startup Tab. Look for a newly installed app that does that and Disable it.

    The only thing in my Startup is an Nvidia updater. Is there anything else it could be?

    Just registered here, because i have that exactly annoying problem. This time announcement is bound to my Microsoft account, so it appears on a fresh installed Win10 on a brand new SSD/HDD, as well as on any pc/laptop i log in with my Microsoft account. I googled, i checked my startup programs, i checked every option in the clock options, i checked the installed apps but nothing. How the hell do i get rid of this? lol

    SOLVED! It was a Chrome extension called Cool Clock! It synced across all my devices. Just disabled the announcement in the extensions settings

    In my case the hourly time announcements just started and I also couldn't figure out why. I had just installed some new applications and one of them was the Winstep, Nexus Dock, which I highly recommend. After reading this thread, I came to the conclusion that this wasn't a Windows thing, so I started digging around in the settings for the Nexus Dock and I found the offending setting...

    Which for some stupid reason, is on by default. At least they didn't default to a time announcement every minute, which is a stupid option. So if you have this issue and can't find a setting for it in the normal places, start to suspect software that you may have recently installed.
