Why the time is off in Ubuntu and Windows

Users who have just switched to Linux from the Windows operating system, and still run this system from time to time, face the problem that after booting Windows in Ubuntu, the time is lost a few hours backward or forward, then after several reboots it is difficult to understand what time it is.

Reasons why the time is off

There are several reasons why the time may be off in Ubuntu and Windows:

Incorrect time settings: If the time settings on your computer are not set correctly, the time can be off. For example, if the time is set to daylight saving time when it shouldn't be, the time will be behind or ahead.

CMOS battery problems: The CMOS battery on the computer's motherboard is responsible for storing time and date information even when the computer is turned off. If the battery is weak or missing, it can cause the time to fail.

Network problems: If your computer is connected to a network, the time may be off due to time synchronization with other computers or servers on the network.

Update problems: Sometimes operating system updates can cause the time to fail. This can happen due to an error in the update or due to conflicts with other programs.

Problem Solution

To solve the time crash problem in Ubuntu and Windows, you can try the following:

Check the time settings and make sure they are set correctly.

Replace the CMOS battery on the computer's motherboard if it is weak or missing.

Make sure the computer is connected to a reliable network.

Update the operating system and check if there are any timing crash issues after the update.

We've figured out how to set the correct time in Ubuntu and Windows so that time zones don't crash.
