      apparently it's happened a whole lot within the last week where it sets the date back to 1/31/2019 ever since that day..
      any Ideas on this?
      goes back to 1/30/2019, yeah can see it in the event viewer too .
      Kernel sets date/time to 1/31/2019 at 3:45 am

      Proof:

        Per the other random thread this system isn't bound to a domain.

        Is the system constantly resetting to the same date and time?

          Yes,

          Then it goes to 3/3/2019, randomly as well.

            @WrCombs oh I believed you. It might be worth it's own topic.

            I've never seen this occur personally. I've had timezone issues in the past. Usually much older systems. But I've not experienced this.

            It's crazy. I dont understand it.

            Going to change the account policy and see if it's somebody is doing it.

            Is it on the domain? Is the DC time correct? Servers and clients on the domain automatically use the DC time.

            Not a domain, It's on a workgroup

            What's the time in the BIOS say (if it's a physical install)?

            I've seen BIOS time issues before.

            If it's a VM, what's the host time show?

            Should have posted this here.

              I'm not on site, I'd have to be on site to check bios

                So the system isn't just resetting to a time in the past but randomly jumping around?

                  thinking it might be someone on site doing it, but times dont add up.

                    I doubt someone onsite is changing the time to be incorrect.

                      That kind of would make sense. I've manually had to change the clock on systems in the past to make some really awful software work. And reset it back again, for other things.

                        that's what I said as well, But I changed the local account policy for it just to see.

                              I've had to change the time to the past or distant future to get software that the business owned to work. From the devs they said "just change the date to X and it'll work for so many days etc".

                              This because their licencing dept was slow to provide licensing.

                                        After the service is started, run this:

                                        w32tm.exe /resync /rediscover /nowait

                                        command successful succeed

                                            Okay, now just wait and see what happens. When will you know if it'll do it again? How often did it happen?
