Windows 10 Time wrong
Hello CondeDracula,
I recommend you to synchronize time with online server, see if that works.
Navigate to Control Panel > Clock, Language and Region > Date and time > Set the time and date > Internet time > Change settings > check Synchronize with an Internet time server and click Update now.
If issue still persists, check this video fix:
Hope this helps!

KapilAryaI did everything you said. Went into the register and created the new object. Still setting at 22:49 5/15/2024. I think MS has messed up their operating system and don't want to fix it. Apparently this is causing worldwide grief and you are giving a "solution" that doesn't work.
Please fix it. 😞

KapilArya did you even read his message. He said they are not connected to the internet.
- Thank You Soo Much
Yes, I actually had the same problem but after doing this the clock was working again! Thanks
- Glad I could help!
- I recommend you to please change Cmos battery with CR2032, and Reset your bios setings once.
- Hello KapilArya , that's obviously not a solution since CondeDracula doesn't have an internet access. Read the post again.
- I am having the same problem after resetting my laptop yesterday. I went to settings by right clicking the time. I even synced the time and now that's grayed out. It's still incorrect by almost 4 hours. The time zone is correct though.. I don't know what else to do. Help!
Deb-54 SAME! It just started happening in the last week. I changed the time manually and it is still off by an hour. this is ridiculous.
Hi Carrie69
As already stated by @nikseresht, if you have a dual boot with Ubuntu, there the time is UTC based, while in Windows is RTC.
You can either change Windows or Linux way to show the time:

- Thanks, it worked for me!
Hi KapilArya,
I am French and I am located in France (easiest configuration for language, keyboard and regional settings). I am an IT consultant and the time on my computers using Windows 10 Pro 64 bits OS is all the time wrong at the start up of the machine even if I am using the automatic update from internet servers. I tried to set it up manually, but it does'nt work because at the next reboot, the time becomes wrong.
I never experienced such a problem with previous versions of Windows OS.
My problem started with build 1803 and then I decided to reinstall from scratch with the up-to-date build 1909 thinking that maybe the problem could be on my side, but the issue is still there... What can I do to have a correct time on my computers ?
I experienced only this problem with Windows 10 Pro 64 bits because I have installed a dual boot Windows 10 + Ubuntu 18.04 on a spare machine and the time is wrong on Windows, and correct on Ubuntu.
Now after setting up the correct time, the impact is for example on my send emails that have sometimes a time in the future in Thurderbird... Very strange phenomenon...
Please help me because I'm really disappointed and I think more and more to switch on another OS that is more reliable.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Patrick
Patrick_MARCHAL I have the same issue. I have Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and windows 10 dual booted. The time is correct in ubuntu but wrong in windows. Even if I try syncing it in the setting and restarting the windows service, the time again changes in next login.
Hope anyone can help.
Thank you in advance,

I have the same problem. When my computer not connected to the internet it shows wrong time. I knew although I set my time zone manually, it shows UTC time. So windows 10 does not consider time zone whet it is not connected to the net. I searched on the net and found a solution for it on windows report web site as bellow:
Add RealTimeIsUniversal DWORD in Registry Editor
Once Registry Editor opens, navigate to the following key in the left pane
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ControlTimeZoneInformation
Right-click the empty space and select New > QWORD (64-bit) Value.
Enter RealTimeIsUniversal as the name of the new value and double click it.
Set its Value data to 1 and click OK to save changes.
now reset your computer and set the time again. It works fine after that for me.
ps: I am using dual boot Ubuntu and windows 10.
Hope this helps you.
🙂
- Thanx alot it's worked with me
