Windows 10 always resets my Time

theFOoL · Jun 30, 2017

Hi,

Every time I restart or go into Linux then back to Windows it always resets and I have to update it via Internet. Why?

Could be CMOS battery related.

Well dang so I need a new battery... But I'm about to replace my MB this X-Mas so

Just replace it, it's cheap anyway and it may solve the problem and you could sell a good working motherboard.

Is your time zone set correctly in the OS? The OS has the ability to change the CMOS clock, so if you didn't setup your Windows Time correctly, then it is defaulted to Pacific Standard Time. It could also be a CMOS battery issue...but usually your time AND date will reset...so you'll see 12:00, January 1, 1979 or similar if the clock is resetting from a bad CMOS. If you shut your PC down, unplug it from the wall for say like 10 minutes, then plug back in and boot into BIOS, is your time/date wrong?

It usually resets to like 3AM or something. I'll see if it changes though

Btw, I'm Central Day-Light Time in Alabama

Right, so like @Kursah said, what time zone is your clock in Windows set to? I have seen some machines change after a Feature update.

Typically, if it were a flat BIOS battery, time would reset to 12:00AM, and the time and date is usually reverted to when the BIOS was made as well.

If my math is right, your clock should be set to GMT-6.

theFOoL · Jun 30, 2017

Mine is (UTC-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada)

cheesy999 · Jun 30, 2017

Sounds like one of your OSs is using utc system clock and the other local time, change the setting in one of them.

i bet on this tooo, hour will be set at the moment the moment when the bios was used first time, no matter how weird this specific time could be...

theFOoL · Jun 30, 2017

Weird... My battery keeps reseting to 20:00-8:00PM (I shutdown/Power-off the PSU) and wait 20sec and yep battery issue

Ferrum Master · Jun 30, 2017

I have it too... in all my machines... haven't pinpointed what it is.

theFOoL · Jun 30, 2017

LOL Ok

blobster21 · Jun 30, 2017

It happened to me too with debian 7. (the clock would give or take 1 hour everytime i would switch from one OS to the other)

You can find an explanation and the remedy here :

https://askubuntu.com/questions/800...ime-after-switching-from-ubuntu-to-windows-10

Using the linux tips fixed it for me.

R-T-B · Jun 30, 2017

It's Local Time vs UTC clock timekeeping, as @cheesy999 guessed.

Drone69 · Jun 30, 2017

I`ve had the same thing going on since the Creators Update, update not a clean install. I dual boot with Linux Mint which sets the right time, got a virtual W10 Insider Preview running in Mint that`s always got the correct time. Normal w10 an hour wrong every time. I even stopped my vpn from auto connecting, which made no difference. Haven`t tried a clean install yet.

theFOoL · Jun 30, 2017

Hmm does the Windows Media-Tool come with the update installed in the Latest ISO Build?

My guess is one of them isn't/is counting Daylight Savings Time (CST versus CDT). It's easier to get that wrong in Linux than Windows.

How many hours off are we talking? Windows defaults to Pacific. (-8 GMT)

Drone69 · Jun 30, 2017

I`ve tried altering all the settings I can to fix in W10. Linux and virtual W10 are right every time. It`s only out 1 hour for me.

The media creation tool downloads the creators update.

FordGT90Concept · Jun 30, 2017

I'd boot one, check the BIOS time, boot the other, check the BIOS time. Isolate which one is actually changing the time.

What might be happening is that one is doing system time +1 hour where the other does system time += 1 hour. So one updating the system clock may be breaking the other. If that's the case, there really is no fixing it.

BIOS time should always be correct.
