Windows regularly changes the time by one minute: what can I do?
Hi all, How to prevent Windows from updating the time? (please read all the text) My windows application developed in for Windows 7/10 & 11, works 7 days a week on a PC that is not connected to th...
Thank 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!

Your 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.

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?- There are two approach you may follow:
1) In case you have access to PC running Windows 10 or Windows 11 and with internet access, you may open start and search for feedback and open the Feedback Hub app and report this issue and you may attach log files or any relevant information.
2) Since you are a developer and if you are using .NET or Visual Studio, you may report this issue to the .NET or Visual Studio team. Have a look at:

As I'm developing the application in Delphi, the second point you mention doesn't apply.
I'll see how I can temporarily connect the PC to the Internet, while I send the diagnostics using the Diagnostic Data Viewer application but I don't know how long it will take or whether they'll go through with it.
So I understand that even though I'm willing to pay, Windows doesn't offer a solution to help me except with this application but I don't know the daly neither is they will .
Aren't there any third-party companies that can take care of this problem?
