Clock Running Slow ~ System Tray Clock running slow !

Hi Anju,

Thank you so much for engaging on this problem, in answer to your questions:-

• 
  Have you made any changes to the system prior to the issue? A: The only change I am aware of was adding the 'Pinterest' app .
  
• 
  Have you installed all pending updates? A: All updates have been added .
  
• 
  Did you experience this issue on a local account or a Microsoft account? A: I do not understand this question, but my guess is a Microsoft Account as I am not aware of a Local Account
  
• 
  Have you replaced the CMOS battery in your computer? A: No, the computer is less than 2 years old.
  

I am not sure how to implement this advice ; "I suggest you to sign out from the current user account, restart the pc and login to the Admin account or the Microsoft account to test if that helps with
this issue."

I have conducted the System File Check procedure , no issues were discovered.

I will look at trying the other advised procedures.

When I started the PC today , the clock immediately displayed the correct (local) time , but it was running slow immediately, so in twenty minutes the clock was 15 minutes behind time.

I have noticed that some other display issues seem slow , for example, drop down menus are slower to 'open/drop down' and when using the backspace key to delete text , it is slower at switching from one press /one backspace to continuous backspace when the
key is held down, if that makes sense!

The Task manager processes screen (to the inexpert) does not seem to show any slow processing / heavy demand. I have done Disk Clean -Up and checked for defragmentation (not required).

Thanks for your help on this!
