  1. Why does Windows not set the clock correctly when I boot it up?


    My computer is dual-booted with both Ubuntu and Windows 11. More often than not, when I switch from Ubuntu to Windows, the system time is 6 hours ahead. I always have to go into settings, to time and language, and switch "set time automatically" off and back on, which makes it correct itself. It always has "set time zone automatically" and "set time automatically" on, and it displays the correct time zone. Only Windows does this, Ubuntu has no problems with it. I made sure my BIOS time is set correctly, too. It's really annoying to have to change the clock, and it messes with my schoolwork bec

    Boot Problems Why does Windows not set the clock correctly when I boot it up? :(

    Just out of interest, what got you the BIOS screen?

    And in the BIOS, is everything set correctly, like is the raptor master, caviar slave, etc etc? And is the master set to boot up windows first in the boot priority list?

    Windows Alarms & Clock app seems to update correctly in Windows Store but never really installs

    Hi Matthew,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    I understand the inconvenience you are facing with Alarm and Clock app, try the below and check if it helps.

    I would like to inform that, you need to close the Windows Store and other apps before executing
    the PowerShell command. Also, sign-out and sign-in before installing the apps from the store.
    I suggest you to take this as a precaution before performing the troubleshooting steps.

    Step 1: To uninstall Alarm and Clock app
    follow the below steps.

    • Press Windows key, type
      Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
    • Enter the command: “get-appxpackage *Microsoft.WindowsAlarms* | remove-appxpackage” (Without quotes) on the
      PowerShell and hit Enter.
    This will uninstall the Alarm and Clock app and then you can reinstall the app from Windows Store. Before re-installing, I suggest you to perform
    Step 2 and proceed.

    Step 2: Run
    WSReset.exe .

    • Press Windows+R key to open
      Run
      box
    • Enter wsreset.exe in the Run command and then click
      OK.
    • Restart your computer and install the app.

    Hope it helps. Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We will be glad to assist you.
