Hello,
I have an issue with the time on Windows 11 that is not the same on the taskbar and in the settings. This is causing problems for certain applications that are one hour off (they take the time from the settings and therefore show one hour less)
I cannot change this, especially since some options in the settings are greyed out. Whether I enable "set time automatically" or "set time zone automatically," it doesn’t change anything.
I would like to know how to retrieve the correct time in the settings.
Thank you in advance for your response.
Have a nice day.

re
on this page, look for the BIOS access key according to your PC brand --> https://www.malekal.com/liste-touches-acces-bios-boot-menu-constructeur/
in the MAIN tab, check if the time is correct

Hello,
Weird issue with the time
On W11 if you disable the 'Set time zone automatically' option then the 'Adjust for daylight saving time' option gets enabled.
I had the same problem last week, no matter how I set the time correctly, I was always an hour behind.
I went through the control panel to set everything to the right time, as well as the Internet time to synchronize.
But 10 minutes later, even without restarting, everything got out of sync again.
The time was correct in the BIOS.
For less than 3 euros I bought a CR2032 battery at the bookstore that I replaced.
I hope it holds for you, having gone through safe mode, because after a shut down/reboot of the PC it might be possible for the time to go out of sync again.
This is what commonly happens when a PC is about 7 or 8 years old
I send regards to Billmaxime by the way.

Hello Pistouri :)
@ luuguu
I hope, as Pistouri stated, that the time won't get messed up again
if that's the case, you know you need to change the CR2032 battery
See you!- Billou, I happened to inquire, not to name names, at the Boulanger store, and a computer technician told me I should look at the motherboard name, or something like that.
On some PCs, perhaps the newer ones, the name of the battery (CR2032) may be different, and it might not be found at the corner shop, probably online.
I bought it for 2.85 € at a bookstore, it's 2.99 € at their store (see price here)
The CR2032 is the most common; you can also find it at a jewelry store.

Re Pistouri,
thank you for the info, but I don't think luuguu will "come back" on the topic :(
On some PCs, maybe the more recent ones, the battery name (CR2032) could be different, and you might not find it in the local shop, probably online.
By removing the battery, you simply read what's written on it :)

Billou,
To the naked eye, it's not always obvious to see the number (CR2032)
I have a magnifying glass on hand, but when I take pictures of the BIOS battery with my smartphone, the clarity is much better.
Zoom in on the 2 photos!
The battery seems quite worn out. (I have never removed it before replacing it)

Hi Pistouri,

my old W7 is from 2010 and I've never changed the battery...
it might be different for a laptop in terms of wear

According to a CCM publication, some BIOS batteries can last up to 12 years.
If we do the math, your battery is about to give up the ghost :-)
--► What is the lifespan of a motherboard battery?
The battery of a motherboard has an average lifespan of five years. In rare cases, it may fail after three years. In other, more common cases, it can last seven, ten, or even twelve years.
I hope it lasts for you; that's all I wish for you.
Without wanting to jinx you, you might want to get a spare in case this happens on a Sunday or a holiday.
I was lucky; it happened to me on a Monday morning without being a public holiday.
Less fortunate yesterday, I had my first flat tire ever while returning to collect a 3-euro lottery win—the cost isn’t the same, ten times more expensive than the BIOS battery, and to think I changed the tires a month ago after a re-check from the technical inspection. (And I lost my registration card the day before the inspection; it's a whole story to get a duplicate.)
All because of a puncture no bigger than a thumbtack.
Not to mention a more or less severe cough that started as a simple cold, which I briefly mentioned in another CCM post. (It's hell, even vaccinated as a child against this 'damn' current virus).
It's not just the battery that malfunctions; sometimes, it's the body's clock!

It's because of the daylight saving time change lol
