    Why can't Windows update time like Linux?


    I use an external USB enclosure to run Linux on my PC which has an internal SATA SSD running Windows 10. I switch back-and-forth depending upon what I'm doing. Linux always has the correct time, but Windows always has UTC or something like that, being off by six or whatever hours. Eventually, hours later, Windows updates itself to local time. Is there any way to force Windows to set local time on a regular basis, or better yet, on every boot?

    :)

    Guide: How to enable, use, and configure SLI on Linux.

    I guess the next logical step would be to report on the performance you can get with SLI in Linux. That'd be my suggestion anyway.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Why can't Windows update time like Linux? :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
