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.Cant update windows 10 to version 20H2

Windows 10 RTM / Server 2019 RTM Build 17763.1, something happened
I am having this problem when testing RTM builds of Windows 10 / Server 2019 Build 17763.1. Install from scratch (EN-US version of windows), and select Slovenian keyboard on start of the installation process. When windows loads for the first time into desktop it shows an error that it can't download "language tools" from windows update ? "Something happened, and we couldn't install a feature." My PC is connected via gigabit ethernet to the main gateway. Image: This error message also appears every time i reset my PC. Is this going to be fixed when 17763.1 will be available on windows update ?
