Windows Time Changes
 

On one of my computers, I have Windows 7 and Linux.

When I boot into Linux and then reboot (later on) into Windows 7, my time in Windows 7 changes to around 6 hours in the future.


Is this a problem with Windows, or something else?

Hi there,

so I guess your location is 90° west of the Greenwich meridian, perhaps somewhere in the eastern third of the USA?
The point is that Windows assumes the real-time-clock to be running on local time, while Linux usually has it on UTC.

However, I'm dimly aware that you can change this behavior in Linux, so that it treats the clock the same way as Windows.

I think it is because your Linux is set up to UTC time and Windows is set up to Local time.

Make them match and you wouldnt have that problem any more
If you want Linux to be in the local time you can try as root

That is from our friends at the Slackware site, in your distro it might work the same way or you have to search the topic for your distro.

I recently had the same problem with my Win8 laptop. During the install, I set the hardware clock to localtime. Apparently, though, Windows 8 keeps the hardware clock in UTC. So if setting the clock to local time doesn't fix it, try setting it to utc.
