Many functions of your Windows computer rely on a properly configured system clock in order to work properly. When it’s set to incorrect settings, some of your licensed software might expire prematurely or you might have trouble installing new applications. If you notice that your time and date has changed for some reason, here’s how you can set it back to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open the Control Panel<\/span>, go to Clock, Language and Region<\/span> and click Date and Time<\/span>. (Alternately, right-click the clock in the desktop taskbar’s system tray and select Adjust date\/time<\/span> in the context menu.) In the Date and Time <\/span>window, go to the Date and Time<\/span> tab and click the Change date and time\u2026 <\/span>button. Enter the username and password of an administrator account if asked. Make the necessary changes in the new window and click OK<\/span>. (Or you can click the Change calendar settings <\/span>link first to modify the date format, choose which day is the first of the week and change more settings.) Click OK<\/span> back in the previous window to save the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t forget to use the correct time zone. While you’re still in the Date and Time tab, click the Change time zone… <\/span>button. Select your time zone in the drop-down list and click OK<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Date and Time window also lets you display up to two additional clocks, which is quite useful when you’re often in touch with other people in other time zones. Go to the Additional Clocks<\/span> tab, mark a Show this clock<\/span> checkbox, select the appropriate time zone and write a display name. Repeat the process for the other checkbox to add a second extra clock. Click OK<\/span> to save the changes. To view the additional clocks, just left-click or hover your mouse over the system tray clock. Now you can know if it’s the right time to call your foreign boss on Skype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
