Windows DST change

#1 Post by Boac » Sun Mar 29, 2020 9:50 am

Mine didn't this AM on the PC, but did on both laptops. All settings appear correct and a 'sync' sorted it. Scratches head.

It will be a setting

I had an online appointment for 0900. Pick up up daughter's reminder at 9.30, bugger, then remembered appointment was UTC. Brainfart as last night I had already factored that in

When I got up yesterday, still half asleep, I wondered why all the clocks including the mechanical ones showed the same time.

Then I realised it was not yet Sunday.

indeed, PN - cannot fault you there. If you read post #1 you should realise that it would be more helpful to suggest which one, since I have checked all the ones I know. Any ideas?

I believe that time changes are applied at 02:00 hours on the Sunday.

you're using Microsoft Windows, you can configure your computer to automatically synchronize date and time settings with a time server. To do so, type "Control Panel" in the search box in the Start Menu, and click to open the Windows Control Panel. From there, scroll or use the search tool to find "Date & Time" setting, and click to open it.



Click the "Internet Time" tab and click "Change Settings." Check the box that says "Synchronize with an internet time server" if you wish to automatically sync the clock, or uncheck it if you want to set the clock manually. If you want to sync the clock, select a server from the dropdown menu to sync with or type in the address of one you prefer, such as if there's one on your network. Click "Update Now" to immediately sync the clock and verify the settings work.

When you're set, click "OK.

Just got round to noticing your post, PN. It had all been checked, but did not work correctly as I said.
