Once you reset the CMOS, confirm that power-saving options in BIOS are turned off.
Andrei-Florin Gogan explains the steps to disable power-saving options in BIOS after clearing the CMOS.
If you suspect a Windows file is damaged, launch a command prompt and enter:
sfc /scannow
This process may take some time, particularly if your system uses a hard disk drive rather than an SSD. It will examine all essential Windows system files to verify their integrity.
After clearing the CMOS through the jumper, the time and date should reset (check the year). If they remain unchanged, the CMOS isn't being cleared properly.

If you've reset the CMOS using the jumper, the time and date should reset as well (check the year). If not, the CMOS isn't being cleared properly.
Thanks! I'll look into it as soon as possible.
