i don't think the battery on the motherboard is to blame because this happens even when i turn on my pc while windows open. the screen moves back about an hour or so a few times every day, especially in the morning. i haven't found out why yet. i think it started after i tried to boot up with a usb stick using this method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-o6OK8Q9hI and also installed two apps called "HFS+ for Windows" and "TransMac" (but i removed them back then). Maybe something about these actions caused the problem?

Where do you see the clock on your computer? Maybe it's wrong. Go to Windows Date and Time settings in Control Panel. Type "Date & time" into the search box to find it. My guess is that something got messed up when you installed macOS before. Just check what the computer thinks right now.

Check your Scheduled Tasks. Maybe someone added it to show a clock in another timezone instead of yours.

I know that window well. I keep opening it a lot during the day just so my phone can automatically adjust its date when I change it back or forward.
