Win 7 clock is always incorrect. Have changed internet time servers - no help. Have disabled sync with internet time - no help. Have verified correct time in Bios. Have disabled the time sync and manually set the clock and within 10 mins it is already losing time. Not sure what to try next?

I had the same issue on my computer and I found this to fix it.
Click on start and then type services in the search bar.
Click on Services then scroll through the list that pops up and select windows time and then change Startup type from automatic to disabled.
Restart your computer and your time should change to the correct time.

Man this worked... those commands were pretty effective!! thanks :)
Turn time sync on, turn it off - none of it fixes this stupid time problem. If your laptop is wireless and (probably down to driver issues) the network is not up when windws performs it's first time check, then the time seems broken - it doesn't even seem to resync in any reasonbable time frame.
Yes, I can go to time settings, choose the "internet time" tab, select "sync now" and what a pain that is - do I have to d that EVERY time I boot up the laptop? Yes.
This is on a Dell m1530.
this solution is 25 miles long and it is all about updates... are you kidding me??? how about putting a summary here saying make sure you have all the updates installed????
this solution helps in no way, shape or form.........................
I have all the updates and this happens on 4 of my 5 Win-7 PC's
