Why does the clock on my P.C. keep going back one hour?

Question

Everytime I reset it, it still goes back an hour. This is getting old.

Answer 1

You have your time zone settings set to a zone an hour behind yours.... its not the daylight savings times options fault.

My guess you have set your clock to a zone that matches your time zone whilst daylight savings was in operation, such as GMT... now summer is over it has automatically taken the hour off, as it should, which as revealed the time zone error.

just double click your clock and the clock configuration box will open. go to the time zone and check that the correct zone is selected.

If it still does it, you may requesting the time from the wrong server.. you can adjust this on the internet time tab. as long as the time zone is set correct, it trial and error to choose the correct server.

if this still does not resolve it.. you can work around it by simply setting a time zone that is one hour ahead of yours... which would give you the correct time.

Remember if you are successful and find the correct zone and the clock works ok..... and then it gets to summer and it automatically goes ahead one hour, and you are not in an area that does that... just uncheck the daylight savings box in the zone settings tab.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Bad crystal in the clock and/or run down out battery. Keep it running on the mains and find out if it still goes slow. But if goes slow by one hour only may be u have clicked day light saving in the regional settngs when there is no such daylight saving in the region where u live.

Answer 3

It is adjusting for daylight saving time. It must have been set up in another time zone if it wants to go back too early for you. I think you can set the time zone in the control panel.

Answer 4

It wants another hour of sleep. After it has some rest, check the time zone its set for.

Answer 5
