Windows regularly changes the time by one minute: what can I do?
Hi all, How to prevent Windows from updating the time? (please read all the text) My windows application developed in for Windows 7/10 & 11, works 7 days a week on a PC that is not connected to the Internet, there is no time server connected to the computer. I developed my application to receive the WM_TIMECHANGE message that is why I notice that I receive this message regularly, at a frequency that seems to depend on the PCs but always with the same offset: 1 minute. My explanation (supposition) would be that Windows maintains a software clock that would shift over time and would update itself when the shift reaches one minute, at least that's what I conclude. Note that this PC is not connected to the Internet and is not on a network. In the event manager, I can find this information in the System item (source=Kernel-General) with the following message: System time changed from 2023-02-08T21:38:00,887702300Z to 2023-02-08T21:39:01.50000000Z. Reason for change: System time synchronized with the hardware clock. Procedure: "" (PID4) This phenomenon that sometimes happens once every 2/3 months, and sometimes every week. This is a big problem for me because I store data as it happens and I timestamp it. How to avoid this automatic clock updating ? - I stopped w32time and even disabled it (w32tm /unregister and net stop w32time) - I've disabled the time synchronisation task in the task scheduler. - I also disabled "Hyper-V Time Synchronisation Service" Nothing helps, Windows changes the time by one minute every ten days or so. Thank you for your help.
How to allow customers to book one or more timeslots at once?
I really need the ability for my customers to be able to either set the timeslot themself. ie: 09.00 to 09:45 or atleast let the customers book several times at once. how can i do this? now my customers can only book one times. sometimes they need to book 30min, sometimes they need to book 120min. sometimes they need to book 10min and sometimes they need to book a full day. how?Timespan/duration values in KQL, Power Query and Power BI
In many scenarios event durations are very important. They can be measured in days or in milliseconds and anything in between. In real time analytics it is especially important. In this article I'll describe how such values are treated in KQL and what happens to them when they are brought into Power Query and eventually to Power BI. Finally, I'll provide my recommendation for treating these values in Power BI.
Trouble quoting date+time(hour/mins) of project start date/completion using the WORKDAY function.
Hello, I'm currently tasked with completing an excel document that accurately quotes job start and completion dates (including time of day within a work shift). So far I've been able to come up with a system that works for the most part but I'm having some issues relating to the WORKDAY function. My goal is to have an input start date/time (ex. Wednesday July 10, 2019 7:00 AM) which in turn will generate accurate information of the completion date/time for the job and simultaneously calculating when the next job will start/finish (start date/time is the finish date/time of the previous job). Ex: Start: Wednesday July 10, 2019 7:00 AM - Finish: Thursday July 11, 2019 2:55 PM. Start: Thursday July 11, 2019 2:55 PM - Finish: Friday July 12, 2019 9:45 AM. So far I've been able to calculate the finish "date" but I'm having troubles with the information generating the "time" of completion and therefore the next jobs start date/time (specifically time) correctly. The system seems to be generating the "day of completion" fine but the "hours/mins" are not calculated into the equation. I would like the WORKDAY function to be set to 7:00am - 3:30pm but I'm not sure if this is possible. The document is referring to a chart which calculates the approximate time it takes to complete a specific job depending on the amount of "parts"and "blades". (ex: (#of parts * #of blades) * Time Per Blade = Total time (0.0 days) .) The total time is then used in the workday calculation: WORKDAY(start_date, Total Time, no holidays). I'm not sure if I'm using the WORKDAY function incorrectly or not. The end goal is to have it calculate the date and time of day when a job will be competed, then in turn generating the next jobs start time. Attached is the document for better clarity. Any help would be appreciated. I'm fairly new to excel so spare me the criticism if this is a common error. Thanks!
Bookings Google Calendar Invite for Appt is in Wrong Time Zone
We have the correct time zone listed for our Microsoft Bookings account and the automated reminder emails show the correct time zone. But when customers use the automated Google Calendar invite, it is showing the wrong time zone for their appointment. It says UTC instead of PST. I believe it is because you have the time zone listed as "(UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada)" if you change the wording from UTC to PST I believe it would fix this issue. Google is pulling the first time zone it is seeing which is currently UTC. Please fix this.
