Re: Windows 10 doesnt update Date and Time Automatically

Click on your clock in the system tray (lower right corner). Then click on "Date and Time Settings." Make sure that "Set time automatically" is toggled ON.

Also, you must be connected to the Internet in order for it to set the Date and Time automatically. It doesn't do it when you connect to the Internet, but will update the date and time on a set schedule. There isn't a way to adjust the schedule, and I have no idea what that is or how often.

You may want to "manually" set the date and time the first time, then turn automatic update on after that. Usually that will fix the issue. Make sure your timezone is set correctly in that settings screen, or your time will be set wrong.
