Question Windows 10 Clock/Timer for OBS Studio Display?

I'm hoping someone here can suggest a free (and non-malware) clock to use on Windows 10 on the desktop. Ultimately, it would be used in OBS Studio.

Here's what I cannot seem to find for free:
  • Can show date plus timezone as UTC or local.
  • Can enable/disable data via key binding.
  • Can show seconds and tenths of seconds.
  • Would like a stopwatch function I can adjust key bindings for.
  • Can disable and remove space from stopwatch with a key binding.
  • I can't afford a paid app.
Anyone have a suggestion? I doubt anything exactly like that can be found, but something with at least tenths of seconds and adjustable key bindings (for the case of stopwatch) would be a huge bonus.
 
For free? Unlikely.

Sharp world clock is about one of the most advanced clock apps for Windows that I've seen and I'm pretty sure it can't do stopwatch or tenths of seconds. You'll likely need multiple applications and it's not free. It has add on modules, but those are not free either.

8gadgetpack has SOME of those features, but it won't run on the desktop. It must be placed in the sidebar, so that's probably not what you are looking for either. And if you want it to have the ability to integrate with OBS studio, I don't think you're going to find anything that can do that AND has all those features.

But, I haven't seen everything that out there either so maybe somebody else has an insight I lack.
 
Those were nice clocks, but not quite what I was hoping for. Still looking. The sad thing is that there used to be such a thing, but Microsoft disabled those desktop gadgets "for my protection". :angry:

I'm really hoping to find something with a "digital" clock face, in a compact form, with the time reading in tenths of a second. If it has any kind of stopwatch function, it would have to have assignable hot keys, so I think I'm probably asking for too much (regardless of free or paid).
 
IF they are "gadgets" that MS disabled, then actually 8gadgetpack SHOULD bring that back. OR, it should be "bring-back-able" if you know you had those features before.

Features that are "possible" in Windows, don't ever "go away". Same things are always "possible. Just need to find the right "Dev" to do it or one that already has, but specific features are sometimes not possible "for free". It is what is is.

They are always possible if you can help a dev out. And I am not one of those devs, but they ARE out there.

Ok, thanks, I had not thought of bringing back the old gadget. I'll give that a try.
