I very seldom have any problems with windows update, but today it went wrong. Started off by noticing all my browsers could not connect to web site's with warnings about this being an untrusted connection/ certificates were not valid etc.?? After about 15 minutes of trying to figure what happened, I noticed that my system clock was reset back to Jan 2009??. Computer worked fine this morning before today's update and after the mandatory "reset" is when it happened. Don't know if the updates did this, but it happened. Reset system clock and everything returned to normal. :party:

This can happen because of a failing CMOS battery in the system or simply a very temporary loss of power at a critical time.
You should check the battery status, and the PSU health.

Laptop CMOS batteries often are buried deep in the guts of the machine - it's probably best to get a shop to do it for you.
Desktop battery replacement is a 10-minute job, start to finish...
