Title: Adjusting for leap year in Win 8.1
Post by: One Sock on March 01, 2020, 08:24:53 PM

Since the leap day, my computer is showing the wrong day of the week for the given date. No doubt there's a Windows update to correct this, but I don't connect this computer to the internet. Is there a way to adjust this manually? Or a specific update that I can download with a different computer (Linux)?

Are you sure?
What happens if you fix the date by hand?
Right now it is March 1,2020 here in California. This is a leap year.
Where are you? What is your time zone? In what country do you live?

Would your time zone happen to be GMT-4:30?

OK, never mind... it was my watch that was wrong, not the computer. Sorry :)
