I was thinking the same thing, too. I ran into something similar
occasionally (FREQUENTLY) until somewhere I stumbled upon a/the tip
about I THINK it was setting the clock via BIOS as universal time
(UTC). You then set the [operating system] clock per installed
package's features based on one's personal needs.

As soon as I did that on my own system, I never ran into the problem
again. I just tried a similar search to verify before sending this
out, and that *is* what I'm seeing reflected back as one
"recommendation" without even going to any of the websites returned in
the search. It's that [operating systems] expect to find time set as
UTC in our BIOS, and the problem comes up when it's set to our local
times.

And it *was* the same situation for me as I think more on it as I
write this up. The clock was inconsistently sometimes correct,
sometimes wrong with no predictable pattern until I made that BIOS
adjustment.... .

Just thinking out loud... again :)
