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.

    I have a Win8 machine and two Win7 machines.  They all have the problem.  I am also on your time zone, UTC+1.

    In my opinion this is a severe problem.  It affects the timestamps on files, etc. 

    I boot the same machines into Ubuntu Linux and never have the problem.  That makes me think it is not a hardware problem. 

    Hello Microsoft! Are you reading your own message board?

    Exactly, that's what scares me the most, having files with the wrong timestamp.

    Now I did a windows update, found some things to update today (two days ago there were none)

    The update started at 3:06, and it was installed at 3:15 but windows update says the update was installed at 5:15 because the system changed the clock again after booting.

    Notice the time changes every time not only after each boot.

    I assumed there was something wrong with internet time, but even with that turned off the system changed the time for no apparent reason.

    I just wonder, what in this world could be causing this. Is the first time this ever happened to me.

    BTW: Peter can you do me a favor regarding another bug I found since the Win8 release preview? can you confirm if after you close the task manager you can move any window or right click on the desktop to bring the contextual menu?

    Here it becomes slow and jerky for about 10 seconds after closing the task manager, to the point I stopped using the TM altogether and now use purely "Process explorer" from sysinternals.

    I reported this many times, but MS is just deaf. I wonder how do they fix their stuff if they just don't listen. That's why software like OpenOffice and Blender....and Linux can grow and be so darn optimized in such a short time.

    Here everything works fine after closing the Task Manager (Win8 Pro 64).
