after installing Monterey my clock disappeared from my computer screen

Follow Up Summary: I never found a fix. I created a new Admin user & "switched" to it.

After spending hours with Apple Support & my companies internal support there is no "fix".

My IT department had me create a new Admin user on my system & start using that instead.

• Your apps are all still there
• But you have to tweak your settings, etc...

Mine is doing the same thing and it's a personal machine so it's not the profiles.

Summary: System Preferences\Profiles - Uninstall/Re-install all profiles listed to potentially fix upgrade issues.

Details

My company has installed "Profiles" on my corporate owned MacBook Pro 16 2019.

Issue: The Menu Bar icons (Top Right) are not displaying properly after upgrading to Monterey.

My main frustration is that "Clock" (Date/Time) are not showing.

• Only 3 of the options under System Preferences\Dock & Menu Bar work as intended. (Spotlight, Siri, Time Machine)
• For all other options toggling "Show in Menu Bar" has no affect.

Apple support: After many troubleshooting steps, they believe the issue has to do with the "Profiles" my company has installed.

• To prove this, I created a temporary Admin user. All Menu Bar functionality was normal when logged in as the new user.
• My Recommended Fix: Contact my company's support and have them Uninstall/Re-Install all 27 profiles.

Hope this helps! (:

FWIW, the time shows whether "Show date" is checked or not. At least on all my Macs running Monterey.

Open System Preferences > Dock & Menu Bar > Clock. Make sure "Digital" is selected and not "Analog".

You are right, analog just shows a circle with hands.

Mine is also a personal machine, and resetting the preferences (3 times now) is having no effect.

Have you tried reinstalling the OS?

Have you tried restarting the Menubar process?

Somehow after a series of restarts I did recover the missing function. Not sure what it was that unlocked it. Thanks for your response.
