Question

Date and time on desktop

Aug 19, 2018 1:57PM PDT

The date and time on my PC is not showing correct date and time. I've tried three new batteries to see if that was the problem. After using three batteries, the date and time are still incorrect.

Any thoughts?

Thank you.

The time zone is correct - and the OS is Windows 7.

For W7 there are similar articles.

Is the date and time correct in the bios?

What batteries are you talking about?

Checking the bios is something I didn't think of - will do. The batter is a CR 2032 lithium.

The bios was slower that the current time. I reset the bios.
