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.

    Hi,

    I can imagine the inconvenience you have experienced. I will definitely try and help you in fixing the issue.

    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. Go to the Start Screen, Right-click to get the "All Apps" icon in the lower right of the screen, and click it.
    2. Select "Control Panel"
    3. From Control Panel, navigate to "System and Security" >> "Clock, Language, and Region" >> "Date and Time"
    4. Click the "Internet Time" tab, and change the server to "time.nist.gov", then click update.
    5. Check if the correct time is displayed with the "auto DST option"

    Hope this helps and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to help.

    I too have this problem since I installed windows 8 I have reset the clock on a number of occasions but it still goes out of sync. I turned off the internet time update so this is not the cause. I also can't tell what server to use for automatic update for UK time does anyone know the UK server. If I knew it I would try that.

    I am experiencing this problem also.  I change the clock to the correct time and a week later it changes back to West Coast time.
