Date/Time Resetting to 1980 or 2000 on Windows 10 computer

This causes problems with system stability, software functionality, and network synchronization, and I've tried adjusting the settings multiple times but the issue persists. I'm looking for help to identify the root cause and find a permanent solution to prevent the date and time from resetting unexpectedly.

    If accessible, replace the CMOS battery; otherwise, consider professional repair.

    Make sure Set time automatically and Set time zone automatically are turned on.
