Hi all, I have an odd issue with my clock on the taskbar. The issue is it only updates to the current time if I hover over it, if I don't it just stays static.
Has anyone seen this issue before, I have tried everything in regards to fundamentals of clock settings. I have tried a different time server and still same issue. It has been causing issues with my outlook as time is not synched.

No, I've never seen that behaviour. Have you tried DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth followed by sfc /scannow?

Have you tweaked the clock at all?

You can reset the Windows Time service configurations using Command Prompt.


Open the Command Prompt by typing cmd.exe into Start Menu, right-click on Cmd.exe, and open it as an administrator.


Execute below commands one at a time:


Code: 
net stop w32time


w32tm /unregister


w32tm /register


net start w32time


w32tm /resync /nowait



Once you completed the steps, your device should now synchronize with its clock over the internet.

@kelper yes I have done SFC and DISM will try that @FreeBooter, surely it couldn't be the CMOS battery could it?

Did you try booting into safe mode? It sounds as though something is interfering with the taskbar.

The CMOS battery, first place i would check.

If the CMOS battery had failed, the clock BIOS would show the year as something like 1960.

The only issues I have had with the clock are that if you disable Fast Start then I found the clock did not sync. This was not PC specific and I class it as a bug.

Sound like yours might be a bit different though.

www.elevenforum.com

When did your clock last synchronise?

I noticed the clock was about 20 seconds in error today and on checking the 'last synced' date was surprised to see 01/01/22 Clicking sync now worked correctly and it re-synced. The date seems odd, more than just coincidence that it should be 01/01. If I look at 'date and time' in control panel...

I ended up just using repair install of Win11 and worked fine. A sys file must have been the issue, one for scooby doo.

Good to hear you fixed it. Your issue did sound a bit out of the ordinary.
