Hi,

windows 8.1 (64) - system time is set 'to automatically synchronise' with ... one of the offered options for my time zone, but it keeps coming up wrong (out by a few hours, which causes problems with homegroup among other things).

Generally able to reset to a correct time by choosing a different url / source, but that's annoying.  Is this normal?  Doesn't seem to happen on my other windows 8.1 (64), or any of my windows 7 pc's.

Does it suggest some problem in the installation or local network (this computer is in an odd position - connected to a wired ap that runs off a bridge that connects to an ap; there are reasons for this weirdness)?

Thanks

Hi,

This issue can be caused by Time service, CMOS battery, BIOS or corrupted hardware.

First, lets check whether Windows time service is working fine. For corrupted service, we can use command: SFC /scannow to repair.

Then, please replace the CMOS battery on your motherboard and update BIOS to see whats going on.

Note: Since steps for above action will be different for each band of computer, youd better to contact the manufacturer to know the details.

Hope these could be helpful.
