I had this problem when I got my computer.  I tried the above first, but that failed.  Try clicking on the time in the lower right corner of your screen; a window should pop up and you should be able to set the correct time there.

    Wadidiz,

    My situation is exactly like yours.  We have two machines that constantly get the wrong time in windows.  One runs Win8 and the other Win7.  Both machines are sometimes booted from a secondary drive into Ubuntu Linux.

    Linux always shows the correct time but both windows machines normally boot up with a time two hours earlier than the correct time. 

    I have set both machines to get internet time and I have set the time zones correctly.

    When I manually force the machine to synchronize to internet time it gets the correct time. It is difficult to remember to manually synch the computer so I often end up with files, Skype messages, etc, timestamped incorrectly. 

    This is a serious problem and could result in loss of work and missed appointments.

    Someone please help.

    This is happening to me too. I always turn my computer off when I'm not going to be using it for a while, but when I turn it back on, the clock is always wrong. If I shut if off at 8:12pm, when I turn it on the next morning it will still say 8:12pm.

    That's what's happening for me. I have a Samsung Series 3 NP350V5C-T01US. You?
