Windows 10: Time & date always wrong

Since upgrading to Windows 11 a few months ago, the time and date on my system are always wrong on boot. I have to go into date & time settings and click "Sync Now" to fix it. I've tried multiple debugging steps but nothing has worked:Replaced the CMOS battery. I also dualboot linux on my PC and the time is correct there. My BIOS settings are saved. So I believe the battery is fine.Set "Windows Time Service" in services.msc to start automatically. Stopped and restarted it. Run SFC and DISM checks. Both OK.Ran windows update. Everything is up to date. Re registered w32time:net stop&nbs
