Following windows updates on Wed my pc wouldn't start any more and I had to factory rset it and lose 14 years od data unless my cloud storage system will work which it wont at the moment.
One problem I have is my windows clock is showing 10 hours ahead and tomorrows date despite being in the correc time zone - gmt - can anyone help please?
Hello Maverick,
If you manually change the time to be correct, does it stay that way?
I would also recommend to check what the time is set as in BIOS to see if that may be off, and to synchronize the time in Windows 7.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
You lost 14 years of data. Why didn't you boot from "recovery environment" or linux live-cd and backupped the data to external disk?
if the time won't 'stick', you may have to change your motherboard battery.
don't worry, it's cheap and easy to do. :)
Maverick,
You will not be be able to synchronize the time since your current time is so far off. You'll have to manually change your time to be correct first, then try synchronizing it to get it more accurate. It's not uncommon to have to try synchronizing it more than once or to change the time server before it works though.
If your time does not stay set correctly afterwards, then check your BIOS time, and you may have to replace your motherboards battery as Mickey posted above.
I changed the time to 5 mins from the actual time but still not syncing
Then I'll never know if its actually syncing
