Clock always one hour ahead

[Guest]

I have been struggling with this problem since the most recent switch from
Daylight Savings to Standard time. This is also the first time in 9 years of
using Windows that Windows has not notified me with a popup of the clock
being reset the morning after. I am not on a network. I am in California
and have the correct time zone selected: GMT -08:00, Pacific. The I have
searched the Microsoft help center and made a few changes to the registry to
force the Windows clock to synchronize from the CMOS clock, which I have
reset repeatedly. When the Windows clock resets, it resets the CMOS clock.
I have tried it with "auto-synchronization" and without. The auto-sync works
for a while and then in the middle of the day the clock goes back to one hour
ahead with no input from me. I have the correct date set. Nothing seems to
help. It seems that the system refuses to go into Standard time from
Daylight time. Any (advanced) ideas?

Just to start from the simplest base possible, I would start:

1/ by unchecking the automatically adjust for daylight saving"
2/ Uncheck in Internet time the "Automatically synchronize..."
3/ adjust the time if necessary and reboot. Make sure the time is still
correct.

If the time remains correct the next days, you will have to reverse the
process until the problem reappears (if it does). Then, you will know
what causes the problem.

If this does not take care of the problem, some software you are using
probably causes the problem. I ran into the same kind of problem until I
found that a program I used to synchronize folders was messing up the
time. I contacted the developer who recognized the problem and said they
were working on it.

Keep me posted privately if you would, this issue is of special interest
to me.

Thanks
