Windows 10: Date and Time is wrong

My date and time is wrong and I cant seem to fix it. I have it set to set automatic time and time zone but it sets it to pacific time when I am central. It shows its 2 hours behind. I would set it manually but then I have trouble with programs not working correctly as the date and time isn't working. I've tried syncing the time with the internet windows time but that doesn't fix it either. In summary, my options are: Set automatic but my time is behind 2 hours or manual set my time to be correct but some of my programs don't work due to time issues. Anyone have a solution, I tried looking at forums but couldn't find anything.

2. Click on "internet time" tab.

3. Click on "change settings".

4. Check "synchronize with an internet time server"

5. Under server, select time.windows.com
from the drop down list.

6. Click on "update now" and click
ok.

Also make sure the time zone is set correctly by following the steps below:

1. Press Windows key + I

2. Click on "time and language".

3. Click on "date and time"

4. Choose the appropriate time zone from the drop down list.
