    Please try these options one by one and check after each option. These options are independent and can be executed in any sequence.

    1. Enter into your BIOS and set the date and time.
    2. Your CMOS battery may need a replacement.
    3. Set Synchronize with an Internet Time Server

    Right click on the date / time in notification bar > Adjust date & time > Make sure Set time automatically and Set time zone automatically are set to ON

    Click Region and Language on left side > Scroll down > Click Additional date, time & regional settings > Click set the time and date > Under Internet Time tab > Click Change Settings > Check Synchronize with an Internet Time Server (You can also try to change to pool.ntp.org and click Update) > If it is already checked, uncheck it and OK > Now go back to this and check it again

    1. Fix Windows Time in Services

    Type services in Windows Start Search box > Click Services > Scroll down to reach to Windows Time > Double Click to open > Set Startup type to Automatic >

    Reboot your computer

    Hi CristianLN,

    The CMOS battery on your Motherboard needs replacing

    Open your system up, look on the motherboard for a battery that looks like a large watch battery.

    Pop that out

    Note down the number on the battery

    Most computer shops and electrical shops will stock that battery

    Pop the new battery in

    Then start your PC

    Press F10 to enter BIOS Setup

    Set your Date and time

    That's It!

    Is this a desktop or laptop computer?

    Its possible CMOS CR-2032 chip is dead and needs to be replaced. Its a small coin like chip installed on the motherboard that keeps date and time and other important details about your system such as the boot information. They are cheap can be easily installed in a few minutes.
