That's weird. Did you try manually setting the clock in bios?

Hi,
Over and over and linux kept changing the bios clock, really one of the scariest parts of using linux frankly it can and does mess with bios where as windows does not
Windows reads the bios and clock it's set too.

And of course you need to google for a terminal command to set it right.

Windows only needs internet time and automatic time zone enabled/disabled, which are just two clicks away from the desktop.
This is the kind of unnecessary nuisance with Linux that I was talking about.

Hi,
From what I've found out linux support quality has dropped a bunch since mint 17, this was a basic issue many in the USA have I'm sure

I asked back then how to fix my clock from being 6 hours off when I boot back into windows bad thing linux was changing the bios clock too which is what is really annoying and pretty much why windows was so far off 6 hours to be exact lol
I got a nice response to use and it fixed it

Of course in version 20 it didn't work so I asked again same linux mint forum site and got nothing but windows is wrong and linux is right blah.....
So I had to search and found the string on ghacks.net to use this one
sudo timedatectl set-local-rtc 1

Not sure why anyone would want their bios clock set in a time region other than their local region but I sure do not so not all peaches and cream in linux or their support either lol

its actually easier if you change registry in windows to make it thinks that harware time is utc. Linux and Mac OS by default thinks that bios time is utc

System time - ArchWiki

wiki.archlinux.org

after that, you will not encounter anymore different time. even my windows 10 upgraded to windows 11 still fine

Hi,
Now you're talking like linux support
It's better if linux would stop defaulting to using a different time zone somewhere in the EU and changing the bios clock in the process.
I want my bios clock same as my wall clock... lol

eh well then you just have to deal with keep changing time all the time. Unfortunately, all linux was set to utc by default. You may want to request linus torvaldz to push that in kernel, time will be set to local time instead of utc

because what happen is, when you boot to windows, it changes the bios clock to local time. Once you boot to linux, it then thinks that hardware is utc. if you apply the fix, at some point, that fix will be replace. I dont exactly know how or why even you set it to persistent.

This problem has been known for very long time and still happening. I know its annoying, but how often do you check the time using your bios? How many times you access your bios say in a day? Just a food for thought

Hi,
Once I changed linux default I haven't had to change the bios clock again or windows so all is done and my bios clock is same as my local time.
Talking to linux support is like talking to a coffee table lol

Hi,
I'm really not sure which is worse win-10 support or linux support lol it's baffling each are pretty hardheaded and think their way or the highway.
