 I have been struggling with this problem since the most recent time change
from
 Daylight Savings to Standard time. This is also the first time in 9 years
of
 using Windows that Windows has not notified me with a popup of the clock
 being reset the morning after. I am not on a network. I am in California
 and have the correct time zone selected: GMT -08:00, Pacific. I have
 searched the Microsoft help center and made a few changes to the registry
recommended by Microsoft to force the Windows clock to synchronize from the
CMOS clock, which I have reset repeatedly. When the Windows clock resets, it
resets the CMOS clock. I have tried it with "auto-synchronization" and
without. The auto-sync works, the clock is correct for a while, and then in
the middle of the day the clock resets itself to one hour ahead with no input
from me. I have the correct date set. I have checked the "Automatically
adjust clock for Daylight Saving.." box. My computer is on all the time.
Nothing seems to help. It seems that the system refuses to go into Standard
time from Daylight time. Any (advanced) ideas? Please help me.
