Hi,

The time is correct in Windows and Monterey but in BIOS is 1 hour behind. I've tried with and without RealTimeIsUniversal key in registry but still same problem.

Anyone know how to fix?

Thanks.

That's normal, can't remember exactly why but at the Desktop the time should be correct.

How far it's off depends on where in the world you are, I believe the BIOS clock is set to GMT?

Correct, as far as I can remember my BIOS clock is always one hour behind Real Time. It really isn't a big deal because how long, how often or how many times does one boot into the BIOS?
As long as the correct time is showing at the Desktop then there is no need to worry.

Can confirm this , it is TZ related.... , my BIOS is continually 8 hours behind.....

it just means all the log files generated during bootup are out.
