Time is one hour behind?

[uncle_rufus]

Hey all,

I'm bracing myself for the probably realisation that I'm just being an idiot and not seeing something obvious... but since a few days ago the time in Windows 7 is one hour behind the actual time. I've not changed anything and the Time/Date settings all look correct to me - it seems like it would be a daylight savings time problem, but the box for that is checked and if I uncheck it the clock becomes 2 hours behind. However if I manually go into the "Internet Time" settings page, click "Change settings" and then just press "Update Now" it re-synchs and gets the time correct. Next time I reboot it's behind by an hour again - what the hell is going on?!

Is it taking the time from the BIOS clock by any chance? Try changing it in the BIOS. You definitely have BST time zone selected? Or GMT +1 ?

I thought it had UTC selected with the checkbox for daylight savings time, says "London, Lisbon etc" I can try changing the BIOS clock, but if that's the problem does that mean I need to manually change the BIOS every time the clock changes? (Okay it's only twice a year but still annoying)
