Step 4: Check PC Battery and/or Update BIOS
If you have done the above procedures and the time is always wrong, then you may need to consider whether it is caused by corrupted battery. Time and Date settings are stored in BIOS, so if your battery is at fault somehow, your BIOS will not be able to properly stored the settings, which makes it futile to change the settings again and again.
You can go to your BIOS and check if the time there is correct. If the time is not correct in your BIOS either, then you need to replace your battery. You may need to seek support from your manufacturer for further assistance.
In some other cases, this problem could be caused by outdated BIOS. Please note that updating BIOS is a highly advanced procedure and that you need to be fully aware of the consequences of faulty updated BIOS before you choose to do so. You need to go to the manufacturer support website of your PC for more detailed information and support.
