Downsides of using UTC time by setting RealTimeIsUniversal
Hi, I have a dual-boot machine where I use both Windows 11 and Linux. To fix a minor annoyance with the hardware RTC clock always being set to the wrong time zone whenever I switch to the other OS,...
Setting RealTimeIsUniversal to 1 tells Windows that the hardware clock is set to UTC, aligning it with Linux's expectations.
When this is enabled, Windows will interpret the hardware clock as UTC rather than local time.
