Windows 10 struggles to maintain the clock accurately.
Open circuit voltage indicates a lower value. The battery regains voltage when disconnected, but it loses it rapidly when connected to a load. What you're observing resembles Windows NTP maintaining accurate time, then drifting due to insufficient battery voltage. Try swapping it out to check the outcome.
You understand that under load, a CR2032 typically draws around 1 microampere on a motherboard. Voltage doesn’t instantly drop to zero when there’s any load, and a minor current draw won’t significantly affect the voltage. I’m planning to swap it out just because I have spare parts. I changed the battery to a fresh one and it’s still functioning properly.
