    Why does my clock settings keep setting the time automatically?


    Whenever I log on into my computer the clock changes to a different time that is not correct. I keep disabling the Set Time Automatically option in the Date & Time settings but it still wont work. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

    :)

    Automatic Time setting for World Clock is incorrect

    Hello Arthur:



    Thank you for posting to the forum regarding the issue you are having with World Clock. After looking into this I am assuming you are referring to an application called world clock. It looks as if there are multiple applications by this name,

    http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/search?q=world+clock
    . After downloading one, it does seem the application should be using the time on your phone as I could not find and option to manually set the time. With that being said, this may be an issue
    with the application itself.



    The one thing I might suggest you try is see if you have a different experience when your date + time setting is set to manual vs. automatic. Go to settings > date + time > set to automatic. This should set the phone's time and date based on your mobile
    operator. Restart your phone and go to the World clock application. Take note of the listed time. Now, go back to settings > date + time > set to manual > set the date and time to match your local area. Once you have done this, restart the phone and check
    the application again, is there any difference with the listed time?



    I personally could not get the application to show the proper time of any regions. If you continue to see this issue, I would suggest looking at some of the other World clock applications.

    Hi Mark W
    Thanks for the suggestion re changing my Date & Time settings from auto to manual, reset the time as well as the time zone country to my country although they are both GMT+2 World clock reset itself correctly. I reset Date & Time to automatic and world
    clock still on time plus new places added.

  4. Why does my clock settings keep setting the time automatically?

    Automatic clock on Windows 10 not working. I know how to set Manual clock. The auto clock shoule work. I am connected to internet.

    Hi,

    If the Windows 10 Clock Time is wrong or not synchronizing, we need to check first if your
    Windows Time Services are set on Automatic and
    Started
    . To resolve your concern, it is also recommended that you run the
    System File Checker first to scan for and restore corrupt Windows system
    files.

    Follow the steps listed below and check if it helps:

    • Press Windows Key + R.
    • Type services.msc.
    • Click Windows Time in the Name column.
    • Change Startup type to Automatic (if it’s not already set to Automatic).
    • Click Start if the service isn’t started.
    Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested steps.
