How to Fix Windows 11 Date and Time Wrong

An incorrect Windows 11 date or time can cause problems with websites, certificates, updates, and applications.

## Method 1: Turn on automatic time
Open Settings > Time & language > Date & time. Turn on Set time automatically and select Sync now.

## Method 2: Check the time zone
If the clock is off by an hour or more, check the Time zone on the same page and select the correct zone.

## Method 3: Synchronize manually
Use Sync now on the Date & time page and wait for Windows to complete synchronization.

## Method 4: Restart Windows Time
Press Windows + R, type services.msc, press Enter, find Windows Time, right-click it, and select Restart.

## Method 5: Install Windows updates
Open Settings > Windows Update, install available updates, and restart the PC.

## Method 6: Check BIOS or UEFI
If the time becomes wrong after every complete shutdown, check the BIOS or UEFI clock. A motherboard real-time clock or battery issue may be involved.

### Final tip
If websites suddenly report certificate or security errors, check the Windows clock before changing browser settings.
