Windows server time going back to past due to time synchronization with the hardware clock
Hi. From the last 2 months, we are facing below issue on our Windows 2016 server every 10 days. Server time is going back by 1 hour with the below message in eventvwr. The system time has changed to 2023-12-27T07:34:29.500000000Z from 2023-12-27T08:34:38.153992100Z. Change Reason: System time synchronized with the hardware clock. It is again getting corrected after 2 hours. The system time has changed to 2023-12-27T09:34:29.500000000Z from 2023-12-27T08:34:29.508436400Z. Change Reason: System time synchronized with the hardware clock. Below are the default settings of the server since very long time. 'Set Time Automatically' is off in 'Date & Time settings'. StartUp type of Windows Time service is Manual(Trigger) and is not running. This is a WorkGroup server & not joined to any domain. How can we avoid the system time being synchronized with the hardware clock. Please help. Thank you.
