Windows 10: Clock reverts to wrong time after a reboot

Yep! Same as I posted page #1.

Clock reverts to wrong time after a reboot - Windows 10 Forums

 

I had similar problem with Win 7 on a Acer laptop, each boot up, clock was a minute faster. even in the BIO's.

 

I saw that my settings were different than what worked for sygnus21 & Dick. It looks like the recommendation to check the BIOS since it's most likely UEFI. My BIOS isn't, it's Legacy. So checking the UEFI BIOS definitely makes sense.

 

Sorry I missed that. Got caught up in posting about the BIOS check. After posting that, I saw the other post and replied. Wish I could delete it now *Redface

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your post, but whether "legacy" or UEFI it makes no difference, a date and time will be there so check to make sure both date and time are correct.

 

I’m not good at multi-quoting so I’m just summarizing some items

On inconsistent time differences
At first the difference in time was “an hour behind or sometimes further” in post #1.
In post #9 the time reverted to 12:58, in post #10 it’s mentioned the time should have been 16:58 so that’s a 4-hour difference.
In post #7 shows a 3-hour difference “The time should be showing as 16:45 but as you can see it's sat at 13:45”
Stokesyboy those variable time differences match up with your comment “sometimes further”
--- Maybe it would make sense to contact technical support for the products support site.

Is this time difference a recently new issue the user has?
Stokesyboy post #3 “I have tried setting a trigger to start the service when the user logs on but this doesn't seem to work.”

“Maybe I'm misunderstanding your post, but whether "legacy" or UEFI it makes no difference, a date and time will be there so check to make sure both date and time are correct.”
I need to clarify that. I didn’t think there shouldn’t be any difference as you mention, but I was questioning myself: why do my settings work and what is the difference? So Legacy vs. UEFI came to mind. I wasn’t questioning the setup you & Dick have. Sometimes when trying to differentiate some reasoning I admit it needs improvement on how to do so.

Oh my, another idea just came to mind
Is it possible there is "poor" or "inconsistent" connection with the Time Server when trying to use it?

 

Out of all the time issues I've had (very few) I've only had one where the Time server was involved, and switching that from Microsoft to Government solved that issue. And if I remember, that particular issue was when I was running XP some years ago. Outside of that I can't think of another instance where the "Time Server" was an issue. For the most part, if there's a Time issue it's usually BIOS involved whether CMOS battery related or a simple mistake is setting the date/time.

Anyway I've not heard back from the OP so I'm not sure what their fix was. If you're having the issue, the suggestions here would apply to you as well. And you'd be doing all a favor if you reported back on what you tried or didn't try and if the issue is resolved.

Thanks.

 

@sygnus21
You could, but absolutely no need to! I can't count the number of times I've posted something almost identical that was pages back. Not always practical to scan way back before posting. *Wink

 

I have had a good look through all of the options on that forum and anything I try on there still doesn't resolve the issue. It seems as if anything I do, after a reboot the settings reverse. So added a DWORD in the registry, restarted the device, checked the exact location in the registry and that DWORD which I had just created doesn't show.

It's the same when I set the setting to change the time automatically, restart the device and it's turned on again.

I have even tried updating the time, disabling the TimeSynchronization service and then restarting the device (This is all whilst it's being run as admin) and then it boots up with the incorrect time and the service has then been set to manual again.

Is there any reason why my changes are not saving???

 

Don't think it is, but to be sure > This is not the Mobile 10 OS, correct?

Do you have other devices that are all synced by any chance?

 

Here is the version:





All of the devices sync to our OneDrive but that's it. Doesn't matter if you try the settings on either Wi-Fi or a roaming SIM.

 

So then it does get data from your cellular provider when not on WiFi. Not that it should make a difference.

In seeing exhausted solutions here you may want to contact LINX for a solution. I see they have email support at the bottom of their page here: Linx Tablets

Of course calling is an option also.

Edit:

The only thing I've found with a LINX is to try and use a different server as instructions of my original post.

Another is use Admin Command Prompt script: bcdedit /set {current} useplatformclock Yes

Found those reading through here: LinxTablet.co.uk - Clock losing time : General (Linx 10)

 

That's a nice summary. Today I'm using another one of my Windows 10 computers and the time settings are exactly the same as yours. Fortunately I don't have any time issues on this computer or the one I was using the other day. I had purchased both of them as refurbished computers that had been upgraded from Windows 7.

Stokesyboy Which TimeSynchronization service are you using?
Are some of the synced devices non-Windows devices or maybe a mix of Windows and non-Windows?
--- Maybe those are factors and part of such inconsistent different time ranges.
--- Are there reversing time issues on any of the synced devices?
I don’t know if this makes sense but since all devices are synced to your OneDrive, is it possible to disable OneDrive and see if the time on your unit holds?
--- It's just a thought. But if disabling OneDrive might cause issues I suppose it isn't worth trying.

 

Device syncing has nothing to do with the OP's Time issue. Those are two different situations. Yes, you could tie in Time where sync issues occur, but the issue as is has nothing to do with sync'd devices.

 

Here is an article that addresses similar issues of this thread: random time changes with random amounts.
It applies to a Windows 7 system but maybe the same principle applies
Windows 7 time keeps changing by itself - Super User
There is a recommended solution but whether or not it suits this situation I don't know but it's one article I would follow to find out
I know a couple of the recommendations have been attempted but maybe something else in that article will stand out

 

Interesting. I found nothing on resetting the CMOS on a LINX, but I found this to enter the UEFI. Not sure if it'd be any help. It may be by at least setting it to default.
