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.

    Has to be a Windows 8 Pro bug.  Clock shows 7 hours fast.  I can set the clock to correct local time and can update with the time server.  However, when I restart the machine, the correct time doesn't persist - it's just wrong again.

    This machine dual boots Windows 8 and Ubuntu Linux 12.10.  The time always shows correctly when I boot to Linux but not Windows 8 on the same hardware.  Please fix this Windows 8 bug (along with constant File Explorer crashes, but that's another topic).

    "To help you suggest steps to resolve the issue, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

    1.       Since when are you facing the issue?

    2.       Do you have any third party security program installed on the computer?

    3.       What happens when you try resetting the time?"

    __________________________________________________________________________________

    1. Since I 1st installed Windows 8 Pro on this system (upgraded MB, RAM, USB 3.0 controller & SSD.
    2. I did have AVG but I have totally uninstalled it and the problem still persists.
    3. I have to reset the time every time I boot Windows 8.

    It might be interesting to know:

    1. I use two different SSDs with two different OS; one for W8 and one for a Linux OS. If I keep using the W8 SSD when rebooting, the time remains correct. After I have used the other SSD and then go back to W8, the incorrect time always returns.
    2. The BIOS is set to the correct local time.
    3. I have a combination of US English language, location Sweden, Swedish keyboard and some modifications in some settings (metric, euro, decimal, etc.).

    PLEASE update Windows 8 to fix this automatically. The time setting is obviously vital for a modern PC and OS.

    Thanks in advance.
