Time issue on Ubuntu 16.04

Question

The time on my machine is wrong. I have exhausted almost all the popular solutons without success. I am not able to change the time even manually through settings.

I dual boot with Windows 10.

Answer 1

This should do it if automatic time synchronization is disabled:

sudo timedatectl set-time '10:42:43'

Otherwise, use:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

and follow onscreen instructions. You can read more here.
