iii. There are several possible reasons why the date and time are wrong on your PC. Some of them are:
- A dead CMOS battery: This is a small battery on your motherboard that keeps the system configuration, including the date and time, even when your PC is off. If this battery dies, your PC will lose its date and time settings every time you restart it. You may need to replace the CMOS battery with a new one.
- An incorrect time zone setting: This can cause your PC to display the wrong hour, especially if you travel to a different region or use a VPN. You can check and change your time zone setting by right-clicking the system clock in your System Tray at the bottom-right corner of the screen and selecting **Adjust date/time**. Then make sure the **Time zone** drop-down menu matches your location.
- A faulty internet time synchronization: This can cause your PC to display the wrong date and time if it fails to connect to an internet time server or if the server is inaccurate. You can try to sync your PC clock with a different internet time server by opening **Control Panel** and clicking on **Date and Time**. Then select the **Internet Time** tab and click **Change settings**. Check **Synchronize with an Internet time server** and choose a different server from the list. Then click **Update now**.
