    Wrong time displayed in Windows 10


    I have Windows 10 Home version 1607 build 14393.321, installed on my Lenovo Z51-70 80K6.
    My displayed time is always 2h behind.
    The time is set to sync automatically.
    The time zone is set to UTC+1 Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna.
    Daylight savings time is set to adjust automatically.
    The internet time server is set to be: pool.ntp.org. I also had the same issue also when it was syncing to time.microsoft.com, so this is not a server problem.
    If I sync the time manually it will display the correct time, though it switches back to the wrong time when I restart it and I have to sync it manually every time.
    I already tried using services.msc and setting Windows Time to automatic, but it didn't solve this issue.
    I have dual boot Windows 10 - Ubuntu 16.04. In Ubuntu time is correct. So this is not a hardware problem, it's a Windows 10 bug.
    Prior to installing Ubuntu I had the same time issue, so it's not the case that the Ubuntu installation messed up.
    Example: it's 20:40 right now, but it displays 18:38, unless I sync it manually every time.
    Date is correct.
    How do I solve this? Have I missed any information?

    :)

    Wrong time displayed in Windows 10 version 1607

    I have Windows 10 Home, version 1607, build 14393.321, installed on my Lenovo Z51-70 80K6.

    My displayed time is always 2h behind.

    The time is set to sync automatically.

    The time zone is set to UTC+1 Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna.

    Daylight savings time is set to adjust automatically.

    The internet time server is set to be: pool.ntp.org. I also had the same issue also when it was syncing to
    time.microsoft.com, so this is not the problem.

    If I sync the time manually it will display the correct time, though it switches back to the wrong time when I restart it and I have to sync it manually every time.

    I already tried using services.msc and setting Windows Time to automatic, but it didn't work.

    I have dual boot Windows 10 - Ubuntu 16.04. In Ubuntu time is correct. So this is not a hardware problem, it's a Windows 10 bug.

    Prior to installing Ubuntu I had the same time issue, so it's not the case that the Ubuntu installation messed up.

    Example: it's 12:18 right now, but it displays 10:18, unless I sync it manually every time.

    Date is correct.

    How do I solve this? Have I missed any information?

    Hi,

    We suggest that you adjust the date and time in the BIOS setup. If the issue persists, we advise you that you contact the manufacturer.

    Regards.

    Wrong time displayed in Windows 10

    Check to make sure the BIOS also has the correct time. Your notebook should have instructions on how to enter the BIOS.

    And no, it is not a Windows 10 (bug) issue.

    @signus21 yes the BIOS does have the correct time.

    Well, I had this problem ever since I got this PC, that is a few days ago. Being the PC brand new, I exclude the fact that the CMOS battery ran out. Moreover, I had this issue prior to dual booting and, therefore, also exclude Ubuntu as a cause. Please correct me if my assumptions are wrong.

    By the way I found a solution to my issue in another forum where they directed me to this wiki. I put the links so other users in my situation can hopefully solve this ussue. I fixed the registry as suggested adding a QWORD (for 64-bit system) with value 1. More info on the procedure in the link to the wiki. Now time is fine both in Windows and Ubuntu.
    I am now marking this thread as solved. *Party
