Time change

Hi Tina,

Misconfigured Windows settings could be a possible cause why your computer keeps on displaying incorrect time. For us to provide an accurate solution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

• Which build, version and edition of Windows is installed on your computer?
• What changes have you made to your computer before this issue occurred?

For initial troubleshooting, we suggest changing the startup type of Windows Time service. Follow these steps to do so:

• Set the correct time on your computer.
• Using Cortana, type services.msc.
• Select Services (Desktop app) from the search results.
  
  
  
  
• Look for Windows Time and then right-click on it.
• Select Properties.
• Under the General tab, click on the drop-down menu beside Startup type and then select Automatic.
  
  
  
  
  
• Click on Apply and then click OK.
• Restart your computer and check if the same issue persists.

We are looking forward to your response.
