Get The CMOS Battery Checked

The CMOS battery serves a crucial role in maintaining accurate time and system settings on a computer. To ensure the correct time and date settings on your Windows computer, follow these steps:

Step 1: Open the Date and Time Settings

• Navigate to the Windows taskbar, right-click on the clock, and select "Adjust date/time" or "Date and time settings" from the drop-down menu.

Step 2: Correct Time Zone and Date

• On the "Date & Time" screen, ensure the correct time zone is selected. Click on the "Change" button to adjust the date and time if necessary.

Step 3: Enable Automatic Time Synchronization

• Toggle on the "Set time automatically" option to synchronize the time with the Internet time servers, ensuring accuracy.

Step 4: Verify 24-Hour and 12-Hour Clock Formats

• If you prefer a specific clock format, click on the "Change date and time formats" link. Here, you can select either the 24-hour clock or the 12-hour clock format based on your preference.

Step 5: CMOS Battery Check (Optional)

• If the time issue persists despite following the above steps, it could be due to a faulty CMOS battery. Consider consulting a professional technician to diagnose and replace the battery if necessary.

Remember to regularly check your CMOS battery for potential replacement to avoid recurring time inaccuracies.
