    Computer Time
    « on: January 09, 2020, 10:09:46 AM »
    I am having an issue with the time clock on my computer.  The time is always incorrect and causes issues with the wrong time being stamped on e-mails etc.  I have tried the basic methods suggested to rectify the problem with no success.  When I change the time manually, it will not keep the correct time for very long and becomes a problem soon after.

    Any suggestions how to fix this issue permanently?  Thanks.

    Without knowing what "basic methods" you've tried, all I can suggest is replacing the cmos battery

      What exactly is the CMOS battery?  Is it on a desktop and a laptop?  My clock issues are on a desktop.

      The cmos battery is a flat battery on the motherboard: https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000239.htm
