Clock time off on dualboot

Question

so i got windows 10 pro and ubuntu 20.04.2 lts on my dell latitude e5450. When i boot to ubuntu, then restart to windows 10, the time is wrong. It changes the bios time to +4 hours from now (UTC).

Does this answer your question? Clock time is off on dual boot — karel, Nov 18 '21 at 16:27
Set Windows to UTC time: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation] "RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001 Modify Registry at your own risk. — C.S.Cameron, Nov 18 '21 at 17:25

You just need to configure Windows so the hardware clock is UTC.

Its set to utc-5 – Nimmam Mar 20 '21 at 21:32
Better to use UTC. Then you don't need to bother with daylight time changes, and Linux always uses that. Should be easy to convince Win to do the same. – Bernt Ribbum Mar 20 '21 at 21:36
But its daylight saving where i am. – Nimmam Mar 20 '21 at 21:47
If hw time is UTC, the OS knows if there is daylight saving given your location and time of year. No changes need to be made at any time. – Bernt Ribbum Mar 20 '21 at 22:02
I do not have admin. – Nimmam Mar 26 '21 at 17:39
??? You have no Admin rights on your own machine? This is a Win fault that must be corrected on that system. – Bernt Ribbum Mar 26 '21 at 18:22
My granddaddy put it on. – Nimmam Apr 04 '21 at 17:09
In that case, @Nimmam, ask him to give you admin rights. This must be fixed in windows. Best of luck :) – Bernt Ribbum Apr 05 '21 at 18:37
