computer clock slowing down

Anonymous

hey all, so. i noticed this a few weeks ago (when hopping onto time.is) my computer was 0.7 seconds behind, no big deal. but as the days ticked by and i hopped on the website a lot, my computer slowly got more and more desynced, and it is now 10.3 seconds behind, i have kind of captured the de-sync between my computer and the website here. if you look at my time and the website time.

Answer 1

You can make sure that Windows is able to sync the time. Its buried in the time settings. But, probably easier to use Windows search then type "clock" and look for or try typing "synchronize" and open it. That will show the last time it was synchronized. If it isn't doing so then the clock would run off.

Otherwise you could try changing the CMOS battery or having it changed and hope that helps.

But, there's other possibilities with the amount of software stuff, bugs, and other things that computers have an overabundance of for many years now. It may not be that easy lol :)

Answer 3

If it runs off again then you could also try finding a 3rd party application to sync it some other way and it might work better for you. It should stay in sync without that however but it would be a workaround even if its not the best way to go about it.

Hope the best :)
