Date and Time Applet

You can set the PC time and date manually or automatically using the Date and Time applet. To access and use it:

1. Press Windows Key + R, or hit control-alt-delete, then choose task manager, then click on new, then, type timedate.cpl, and press Enter.

2. Use the Change date and time and Change time zone buttons to set the correct date and time.

3. Select the Internet Time tab on the top of the Date and Time window and select Change settings. If you want Windows to set the correct time automatically, make sure that the box next to Synchronize with an Internet time server is active.

Note: If Microsoft’s time server always sets the wrong time, open the menu next to Server, select the server from the National Institute of Standards and Technology—time.nist.gov—and select Update now.
