Windows 10: Windows system files set to wrong (future) date. How do I fix?

Hi,


I'm trying to install some software that has some licensing issues because it says my system files have the wrong date.

Lo and behold, when I check my Windows directory there are many, seemingly random, files and folders with the date 1/15/2020.

My computer's system clock is set to the correct time. I don't know how I ended up in this situation.

How can I fix it?


Thanks.

:)
