Time not correctly set automatically

puertas12 · 20 Jul 2019

I activated the options "Set time automatically" and "Set time zone automatically". Hovewer every now and again the the time is showing two hours behine the current time. This is solved if clicking "Sync now". Does anybody have also this issue in Windows 10?

Set the Time Zone manually see that will resolve the problem.

Set the time zone manually here, then reboot into Setup (Bios) set the time here. Save and Exit. If the time keeps changing, then you need to replace your CMOS battery.

After changing manually the time, it changed again. I set the time manually then I rebooted into the bios and the time was correct (so I did not change it). Is the CMOS battery the battery attach to the motherboard?

For a desktop PC, yes. It's typically a 2032 button cell.

Cheap, can pick them up at a Radio shack, Best Buy, almost anywhere that sells batteries.
