I have had this problem since purchase of a new laptop pre installed with Windows 10. Within 2 days the date had changed to 14 days in advance. Since then, every few days it changes different amounts, from 1 day to 5 days.
When I click 'Set time automatically' in Settings, Time and Language, it instantly corrects itself. This option is on prior to clicking and remains so afterwards.
The problem stills occurs after this action.

Maybe dual boot issue between the OS's. Are registry hacks may help, not familiar with. Also seeing now Malware can be a cause, suggest full system scan in Windows.
[QUOTE=Etokan9;452136]Etokan9, I won't repeat what has been said but I couldn't resist offering a friendly tip about your posts. A Quote has to end in a /QUOTE function (with the brackets) or it gets broken, makes things hard to read. The two above should be:
If not using Reply with Quote I copy text then click the white Quote icon in the toolbar and paste that text between the ] and [ bracket.
Mine goes back one hour with "Set time automatically" and "Set time zone automatically" set (this second is in preview builds only).
I turned them off and synced with internet time through the old control panel. Has been fine since.
If I turn them back on then after some time (perhaps half an hour I'm not sure exactly) the clock jumps back exactly one hour again and I need to disable and reset the time again.
You can still use Control Panel to set the time. That may work for you than Settings.
Open control panel
Search for Time
Click on Change Time Zone and a dialog box should appear.
Full system scanned, still no joy. But I found some other things: Dual boot issue between the OS's. The time changes only after and every time when I reboot from the Ubuntu OS to Windows OS. I reinstalled Ubuntu 15.10 creating root, swap , and home partitions. The problem remains. I am dual booting using two hard drives. Any ideas on this?

Not familiar with dual booting and Ubuntu OS, this was my only other thought since i found out you had Dual Boot. So one OS on one drive and the other on the other drive, not separate partitions on one drive ? Tried about everything in Windows between Date and Time Settings. Make sure have received all windows updates and updated all other system drivers.
Windows 10 an upgrade over older OS, did you ever think of trying a clean install or have you of 10 ?
