One of the most useful tools included in the Windows 11 operating system is the "Alarms & Clock" app. This app is much more than a simple alarm clock or clock, it offers a variety of functions including a stopwatch, a timer and a world clock. In this chapter of our e-book, we will explore how to use Alarms and Clock in Windows 11.
To get started, you need to open the app. You can do this by typing "Alarms & Clock" in the search bar on the taskbar, or find it in the list of applications in the Start menu. Once opened, you will see a simple interface with four tabs at the top: Alarm, Clock, Stopwatch and Timer.
Alarm
The first tab is "Alarm". Here, you can set alarms to remind you of important events or to wake you up in the morning. To set up a new alarm, click the "+Add" button at the bottom of the screen. This will open a new window where you can set the alarm time, choose the days of the week it should go off, give it a name, and choose the alarm sound. When finished, click "Save". The alarm will now appear in the alarm list and activate automatically.
Clock
The next tab is "Clock". Here, you can see the current time in any city in the world. To add a new city, click the "+Add" button at the bottom of the screen. Enter the city name in the search box that appears and click the correct city in the list of suggestions. The city will now be added to your world clock. You can add as many cities as you want and you can rearrange them by dragging and dropping.
Stopwatch
The third tab is "Stopwatch". This is a useful tool for measuring time. To start the timer, click the "Start" button. The timer will start counting. You can pause the timer at any time by clicking the "Pause" button, and you can restart it by clicking the "Reset" button. If you want to record a lap, click the "Lap" button. This will record the current time on the stopwatch and continue counting.
