Time 2 hours off after computer is turned off

se flag

I have a new Gigabyte motherboard (B660M ds3h ax) that loses 2 hours on the clock in the bios. It does this when the computer is turned off overnight. I do think it loses exactly 2 hours. What can I do to fix this? Thanks.

Which distro and version of Linux are you using? Is it dual boot with Windows? What is the hardware, a Raspberry Pi?

I prefer to edit the Windows registry to change Windows to UTC time.

Exactly 2 hours smells like the bios and computer disagree about local time vs utc and/or which timezone you're in. The hwclock command can help you make them agree with each other.

I do apologize. I am using Win 11. It looks like the bios is reporting right. I changed the setting in os to automatic. I changed my time zone to central.

It also looks like I needed to correct the time in bios each time it started. It is good now.

Edit Windows Registry using the method shown in the link in user68186's comment, in the first answer under the paragraph **Make Windows use UTC**. This fix has worked for me for many years.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
