My computer does not keep correct time
Where do I post if I am having trouble with keeping the correct time on my Dell OptiPlex 745 PC with Windows 10 (1607)?

Its either your cmos battery died and needs a new one or you have a connection to the wrong time server which will reset it when you connect

I know how to change the CMOS Battery, and I've got a new one. I'll wait, though, until I find out about the Time Server.Its either your cmos battery died and needs a new one or you have a connection to the wrong time server which will reset it when you connect.
How can I check to know if I am connected to the wrong time server?
Thanks for the DNS figures you gave me yesterday. I put them in. A couple of other things were done at about the same time (Windows Updates, for example), so it's difficult to say to what extent they helped. However, I have been able to access the Internet successfully since adding the new DNS figures.
Hello Writer, :)
You would just need to make sure that you use a time server for your region. The ones in the tutorial below are fine since you're in Florida.

In addition, check to make sure that the time set in your BIOS/UEFI is correct as well as in Windows 10.

I set the computer to synchronize with a server as per Option One in the Tutorial; it reset the time automatically. Thanks for the tip.You would just need to make sure that you use a time server for your region. The ones in the tutorial below are fine since you're in Florida.

Question: Is there some way to access the BIOS Time Settings without restarting the computer and tapping on F-2 to get the Setup Page?
Question 2: Is there a separate time-clock in Windows 10 other than that coming from the server?
I'm afraid that the BIOS time can only be set when you have booted into your BIOS/UEFI settings.
The tutorials below can help show you how to check and set your time and time zone in Windows 10.
