Hey everyone, my computer time keeps shifting. I try to sync it with the internet clock, but it only works for a short while—then it jumps back to 10:47 PM and resets to 1:46 AM. It seems to lose sync after a few hours. I checked the CMOS battery, but it’s fine.

I checked the CMOS battery by observing its behavior and ensuring it retained power during operation.

Only the CMOS battery affects the delay during reboot or shutdown. That makes it unlikely. Have you experimented with another NTP server?

Are the clocks aligned correctly in the system? If yes, it might be that MS's time server isn't functioning properly. Click your clock, adjust date/time, go to the internet time section, modify settings, and try using time.nist.gov.

I updated it with a fresh version. @MrBucket101 Yes, I did too. @Snickerzz It's been happening for at least a month now. I've tested all the various servers they offer, and the timing is correct in the BIOS. I also verified it there.

I haven't tried that before. It might take some time for it to sync again, and I'll let you know once I find out if it works! Hopefully this helps, since it's really frustrating.

Hi, You mentioned it isn't related to CMOS. It might be due to APM or Advanced Power Management affecting system time. Try setting up CMOS and turning off APM/Power Management to see if the problem persists. If it works, reach out to the motherboard or computer maker for a BIOS update.
