Since you are not connected to the internet and from the log files, it might get update from the BIOS/UEFI. I advise you to check the BIOS/UEFI time settings.
- franckcleJun 06, 2023Copper ContributorThank you for your answer.
Yes, I also think that Windows reads the CMOS clock from time to time and if the difference exceeds 1 minute, it updates the Windows clock. But the question is: how can this be avoided?
I can't find any answers on this subject, neither on web pages, nor on forums...I'm a bit desperate and I find it strange that I'm the only one with this problem!- Reza_AmeriJun 06, 2023Silver ContributorYour issue is a bit rare , because majority of Windows users are connected to internet and receive update from the Microsoft server.
Since this is an issue with the hardware, it is good idea to check with your device's manufacturer support. You may also check if there is any update for motherboard like firmware or BIOS update.- franckcleJun 08, 2023Copper Contributor
Reza_AmeriI'm seeing this problem on different PCs with different motherboards. So I think the problem is in Windows.
This problem is rare indeed, as I don't think many programs intercept the WM_TIMECHANGE message sent by Windows when the time changes.
I can't find any help for this problem. Are there any paid tickets available from Microsoft to solve such problems? Who can send me a link for this?
