It makes no difference. The problem is that the time
changes all by itself.

double click on the Clock on the system tray and the Date/Time

location

The zone is fine. The time is fine one day and three
hours behind the next. It even happens in the same day.
It is like someone went in and adjusted the time.

Hello
See if you have some time synchronizing utility running in the background.

If your computer is connected to a domain, it might be running Windows Time
service, which automatically synces time with domain controller.
