• You can check if the Windows time services are working properly.
  

Steps:-

1: Check the status of Windows time service.

2. Type services.msc in run window.
3. From the services window find 'windows time' and double click on it.
4. If service status is stopped, click on start and press ok.

2: Check if the date and the time zone is set correctly.

Try restarting the windows time service and check:

1. Single click on time and date display at the right bottom of screen.
2. Select internet time tab and click change settings and click update now and press ok.

3: Try to Synchronize with internet clock:

1. Open control panel and click on Date and Time icon.
2. Click/tap on the Internet Time tab, and click/tap on the
   Change settings button.
3. If prompted by UAC, click/tap on
   Yes.
4. Check the Synchronize with an Internet time server box, select a
   time server, and click/tap on Update now.
5. If an error occurred, then click/tap on Update now again to see if it may successfully synchronize now.
   
6. When the clock is successfully synchronized, click/tap on
   OK.

Hope it helps.
