System clock speeds up unexpectedly.
System clock speeds up unexpectedly.
At first I believed the clock on my Windows 10 system was oscillating back and forth, but later I discovered it simply advances gradually. I swapped the motherboard battery and examined the Windows time service; whether I enabled automatic time setting didn’t matter. I thought the shifting was due to conflicting timestamps from Steam, one accurate and another lagging by 20 minutes. Now I understand the real issue is my clock drifting faster than actual time. Any suggestions?
Your Windows timer might be misaligned. Try turning on the HPT command prompt administrator with bcdedit /set useplatformclock true and ensure HPT is active in the BIOS if needed. Disable HPT and then run bcdedit /set useplatformclock false; HPT is usually off by default, which can lead to timing problems. Remember to restart after making changes, as this will take effect only upon reboot. No other workarounds are available.
I didn’t locate HPET in the BIOS, but using the console command resolved the issue. It’s been running for about an hour and is now synchronized with my phone, which matches the expected time.
maybe ur mobo doesnt have the ability to disable it and has it permanently enabled anyway if its not perfect yet, u need to look for tools to mess with windows timer maybe... since u cant mess with hpet settings in bios... however i think it should solve the issue x_x ( hopefully coz there isnt much more u can do )
