How to use a stopwatch in Windows 10

While smartphones also have stopwatches, sometimes we want to use them on our PCs. If that’s the case, you don’t need to open a browser, use Google’s Stopwatch, or download an app. You already have the app installed. Here is how to use a stopwatch on your PC:

  • First, open the Alarms & Clock app. You can click on the start button and look for the app, or you can click on the search box in the bottom-left corner, type the name of the app and click on it.
  • When the app opens, click on Stopwatch at the top of the page.
  • To start, click on the Start button (play icon)
  • You can make the Stopwatch bigger by clicking on the Expand icon (right next to the Start button).
  • Click on the same icon to restore
  • If you often use a stopwatch on your PC, you can pin it to the taskbar. Just click on the pin button at the bottom of the page.
