First, make sure your clock is set to the correct time zone.

Right click the clock.

Next select change time zone.

If your time zone is correct you may have a bad CMOS battery but you can get around it by having the system sync more often with the internet time.

Hello JDmac,

Syncing the time uses an elevated process. Since it's elevated, Windows will not allow it to run at startup by default.

As a workaround, you could use the tutorial below to create an elevated shortcut that could be placed in your Startup folder that will run elevated at startup and not get a UAC prompt.
