Sharing ! W10 Pro 64-Bit 2004
Fired one of my machines up, expecting an auto retiming from BST - GMT. NO !
Had to click on the clock in the system tray, 'Date & time settings' and 'Synchronise your clock', 'Syn now'.
Happy Days !
Sounds like the RTC battery needs replaced on your machine to correct the time issue. Some machines are a simple fix, others take a mini-tear down. Just a thought. If the battery charges and then won't boot from battery, I'd lean toward a BIOS re-flash then battery replacement as the most logical solution. Back-up before flashing that BIOS.

Ran your fix, OK.
I had a read of a few alternative fixes: batch files, run on boot powershell files, hardware, etc.
My W10 Pro is a 12yo machine, that I had re-blown. BIOS, not EUFI. A dead battery perhaps ?
The machine also has a powerboard fault. It dumps the contents of the battery, when powered-down.
While it's powered-up, it's as good as gold.
Simple option. I'll settle for giving the 'SYN NOW' an occasional 'poke'.
Thanks for the help. Other machines are also available.
Don't call me DOPEY !
ps. Maybe, if the machine doesn't know the day of the week; the scammers wont either ?
@ITMA Since your issue doesn't appear to be the same as mine except for the Windows aspect, try the suggestions in this MS article. Recommend method 3 in your case.

@Krusty13 Thanks for that info. I have applied via console the command you referenced. Rebooted and checked BIOS time against what was visible in Linux Mint. Booted Windows 10 and time is all around good ATM. Thanks for the info. I'm not as astute with Linux as I have been Windows over the years. Which is THE reason I have it installed. I learn far better hands on so thanks again for that awesome tip. Hoping it corrects the issue and will monitor event viewer a bit to see if the error I found earlier today reappears or doesn't. Since I DON'T have a VM I had ruled out Linux as the cause.
Cheers
Hi @SoulAsylum,
Message I received on another forum.
Have you noticed the Win10 time is incorrect if you have a Win10/Linux dual boot?
Look at the BIOS time immediately after getting out of Linux. Look at the Win10 time immediately after getting into Win10.
It's been an issue with Linux for years. Linux sets the BIOS clock to UTC (GMT).
In Linux open Terminal and enter...
timedatectl set-local-rtc 1
Cheers!

W10 Pro 64-Bit 2004. W10 Home 64-Bit 2004. W10 Home 32-Bit 2004.
I've had my other 2-machines on through the day. No problems with my other 2-W10 2004s.
I've found anomalies.
The W10 Pro machine has the 'Set Time Zone Automatically' ENABLED, the other 2-W10 machines has the setting OFF.
The W10 Pro has the Last Sync in September, manually updated today.
The other W10 machines have SYNC: TODAY, and are OK.

ITMA. I've been having to do the same somewhat randomly the past 2 weeks. Upon boot this morning my laptop once again didn't sync time, was showing 4 hours AHEAD of the current EST here in USA. Initially, I thought installing Linux Mint as dual-boot was the culprit but have since ruled that out. Time to report a bug into the feedback are of MS? I would bet there are others with the same issue out there.
Cheers
