So, today you and I will have to face a problem in which time on the computer does not translate. For the first time, major complaints about this appeared approximately with the release of the now popular Windows 7. In general, there are many reasons for this behavior. And they will have to be taken apart. Some of them are dangerous for the computer. But most are easy to fix on their own. Let us begin as soon as possible with you to study our today's question.
the Internet
We do not translate time on the computer. In truth, the first reason for this behavior is the lack of synchronization with the Internet. Sometimes this little thing becomes a huge problem. Especially if you purchased a new computer.
What to do if you do not have time transferred on the computer? Then it's time to open the clock and set it up. To do this, right-click on the time image and select "Set date and time" there. After clicking, you will see a window with several tabs. Now set the necessary parameters, and then go to the "Internet" section. There you will need to check the box next to "Sync with the Internet."
All that remains now is simply to save the changes. The problem that time is not being translated on the computer has been resolved. But only if the reason was the lack of synchronization. Now, even with this feature, many argue that they do not translate time on the computer. How to be in this situation?
Desktop computer
For example, sometimes such behavior becomes the result of the failure of some computer components. In particular, a special battery, which is responsible for the performance of the "BIOS". In a stationary computer, it is attached to the motherboard, it is easy to see. In the same way as getting it.
You do not translate time on the computer (Windows 7 or any other operating system - it does not matter)? Then it's time to take apart your "iron friend" and try to replace the battery. In the case of a desktop computer, this is quite easy. Just remove the side panel from the case, find the round battery on the motherboard and remove it with a light touch. Now go to the store and buy the most ordinary battery of this type. Return home, insert it into the computer and start the operating system.
Important: you will need to re-set the computer settings (date and time), as well as synchronize the clock with the World Wide Web. After you do all this, you will no longer have problems in which time is not transferred to the computer.
Timezone
For example, an incorrectly set time zone can also cause a problem with the date and time. In this case, at some point, your watch will independently put the numbers that it considers necessary. True, in this case, users complain that they constantly spend time on the computer, but not the one that is needed. What to do in this case?
You will have to set the time zone corresponding to your location. To do this, right-click on the watch, and then select "Date and Time Settings" there. In the window that appears, it’s worthwhile to find the "Set time zone" parameter. You will see a small window in which you have to choose your city and timepiece. Set the correct parameters and save the changes.
After that, it is recommended that you restart your computer. See if time moves. Not? Then everything worked out for you. And the problem of the fact that the time on the computer is not being transferred (Windows 7 or other operating systems) will not bother you. But there are exceptions. Especially if the reason for this behavior is far from being in the time zone or in the computer battery. They are still enough to study.
Update
Of course, with the release of modern operating systems, the inability to set the date and time for the desired period of time has become a fairly common problem. And the reason is the Windows Update Center. More precisely, direct download and install files. This is a very common occurrence. You do not translate the time on the computer (2014 or a little earlier)? Then you have to refuse to automatically update Windows, as well as delete some files from the computer.
In order to fix the problem, go to the "Control Panel" and look for "Programs and Features". Start the service, and then activate the option called "View installed updates." What now needs to be done? Find a document with the name "KB2570791". Select it with the cursor, click on the right mouse button, and then select the "Delete" command. Accept the irreversibility of the process and wait a while. That’s it, it’s done!
It remains to restart the computer and disable the automatic update of Windows. This will help you avoid unnecessary problems with the operating system. As you can see, there is nothing supernatural in solving the problem. But this is far from all that may turn out to be the reason for the computer refusing to transfer the time to the right one.
operating system
Another very common reason for not the best deal of events with a date and clock is operating system errors. If they are, then you can prepare not only for the fact that time will not be translated. In addition, sometimes programs and applications, for example, will start to refuse to work. And the computer itself will think for a long time.
Often this problem appears on unlicensed versions of operating systems. And this is quite normal, do not be surprised. But sometimes this happens on licensed copies. No one is safe from this. What to do in this case?
There are several alternatives. The first is to come to terms with what is happening and get used to an unusual time for your time zone. If you have no difference with Moscow, or it is +/- 1 hour, then you can get used to this phenomenon. After all, basically a computer moves the clock an hour forward or backward.
The second way is to reinstall the operating system. To be honest, often this option helps to cope with many problems on the computer. But not everyone likes this radical approach.
Plus, you can always set the right time yourself directly on the computer during operation. Not very convenient, but sometimes you can not do without it.
Viruses
Why is time being translated on a computer? The reason for this can also be the most common viruses and other computer infection. But this happens extremely rarely. And you don’t need to think that viruses infected the operating system after you discovered the impossibility of changing the time.
Quietly scan your computer with antivirus, and then cure all potentially dangerous and malicious files. Next, clean the registry, restart the computer. This usually helps. After all, dangerous viruses are not aimed at playing with the date and time. Most likely, you picked up a playful or frivolous option. And getting rid of it will be much easier than from a trojan or spy.
Conclusion
Today we have figured out for what reasons time can be independently translated or not set to the numbers we need. As you can see, there are not so few reasons for this behavior.
If you feel that you cannot cope with the problem yourself, then take the computer to a service center. There, for a fee, they will help you return the date and time to the desired indicators.
