Several ways to set the time for Windows 10

Many users of personal computers and laptops based on the Windows 10 operating system repeatedly encounter the problem of incorrect display of time and date. We’ll figure out how to set the time for Windows 10.

Why time and date are not displayed correctly

Problems with the incorrect display of the date and time on the computer can begin for various reasons:

  • after reinstalling the system;
  • after the next major update of the "tens";
  • after resetting the BIOS on the computer.

In most cases, if you take out the battery from the computer, then you will have to set up the time and date again in Windows 10, as in any other version of the system.

Also, you could, for example, when installing Windows 10, incorrectly select the time zone, so now the system shows the time by an hour, or even several forward or backward. After the update from Microsoft, users around the world began to notice that their devices were in a hurry or lagging behind for a couple of minutes. For some, this was not critical, but someone experienced a lot of inconvenience about this.

You can set the time to Windows 10 in several ways. As a rule, this is done either in the parameters or in the control panel.

Set the date and time correctly in the system parameters

To set the time in the system settings, you must perform the following steps:

  1. Run the parameters of the operating system.
  2. We find the section "Time and Language", in which we select the item "Date and Time".
  3. In most cases, you will have automatic time detection, which must be disabled in order to be able to change it.
  4. Next, check which time zone is set. If it is installed incorrectly, then set the desired one.
  5. After checking and setting the time zone, we go into changing the date and time, where we set them correctly.

Set the date and time correctly through the control panel

Change date and time

Many users of "dozens" prefer to use the classic control panel to make any settings, since it is not particularly convenient for them to use the system parameters. To change the time, you must:

  1. Launch the control panel by typing Control at the command line or using the search.
  2. Go to the group "Clock, language and region", where we select the section with the date and time.
  3. In the appeared window with the settings, we check which time zone is set. If necessary, change it to the desired one.
  4. Next, we go on to change the date and time, where we edit the parameters.
  5. Click OK to set the correct parameters.

Now you know how to set the time for Windows 10.
