    Where is the Auto Time setting function box?
    Right click the time on the Task Bar, then left click Adjust Date/Time.

    In the window that pops up, left click on the Internet Time tab, then left click on Change Settings.

    Click Yes if a UAC window pops up.

    Uncheck Synchronize with an Internet Time Server. This is the Auto Time Setting Function everyone was talking about (don't feel bad; it took me a while to figure it out).

    Aha, good to know! Apparently it isn't actually necessary for this fix as, in my ignorance, I just changed the date, rebooted, etc. and it worked.

    My apologies for this oversight. It seems that when I incorrectly used Auto Time function, I did mean the Synchronise with the Internet Time Server. So my apologies again & I hope it did not cause too much confusion.

    Incidently I have adjusted this in some of my later posts on this problem.

    Hey, no worries! You got us started on the right track and, for that, thank you!

    MS: make Win7 as wonky as possible and they will 'upgrade' to the wonderlands of Win10.

    That's one of the reasons I won't.

    Turn auto updates off, reboot, turn auto on, the usual hokem.

    No need to reboot for me. Just turned Windows Update to never install updates, went back, clicked the check for updates button and it was ready to go. After that I could safely turn Windows Update back to install updates automatically (if you're really into it).
