Windows 10 time 'wrong' when set to 'automatic'

snips86x · 3 Apr 2018 at 08:50

Sunday morning I booted my PC and noticed the time was incorrect, displaying an hour ahead compared ot what it should be. It's configured to 'set automatically' but it's still incorrect.

I have adjusted it manually now and when I came into the office this morning, a colleague asked what the time was as his laptop was incorrect - also had to change it manually.

Has anyone else noticed this on their PCs or having a similar issue?

Have you checked the BST settings?

If they are work/domain machines it could be that you're getting the time from a local server and that's not been updated

Not really sure about his work laptop but I was more intrigued to know if others have had this issue on their home PC.

Well desktop at home, 3 laptops + 1 work laptop running win 7 or win 10 and no issues.

Yes I have the same problem. Have had it since win10 release.
I just learned to live with it, unfortunately.

I had this problem as well the other day. Ran a internet time update from Win 10 settings that corrected it and it has been fine since. No idea what the problem was.

Had it before on clean installs of Windows 10, fixed by toggling the flick switch for automatic and time zone sorts it out.

Glad it's not just me then
