    Hi Gary,

    Make sure the time zone set in the Clock settings is correct.

    a. Click on the Date and Time shown in the taskbar and then click on Change date and time settings.

    b. In the Date and Time tab, click on Change date and time.

    c. Set a date and time.

    d. Then click on Change time zone and select your time zone and click on ok.

    e. Click on the Internet time tab and then click on change settings.

    f. Place a check mark on Synchronize with an Internet time server.

    g. In server option, select time.windows.com and click on Update now.

    h. Press apply and ok and then restart the computer and check.

    If the issue still persists, you may have to check the date/time and change the bios clock settings.  

    Note: Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk. 

    Hope this information helps.
