BIOS clock and Windows clock are not in the same time zone?

So, specs:

Why would the BIOS time and time in my W11 zone differ? I'm in  UTC +2:00 time zone.

If I set the time in BIOS to my correct regional time, then in the Windows (11) time is 2 hours past. I mean If I set BIOS time to 21:00 then in W11 time is 23:00.

Suspecting this might have something to do with the machine not being able to wake from sleep or turn on automatically by set turn-on alarm.

Just an anomaly or is there some actual reason for all of this?

 

PS.

Didn't know where to place this topic, so it's here.

It is the default in Linux OS's to keep the bios clock at UTC. Hopefully Windows 11 finally agrees with this.

Ah, it's an OS level oddity then. Not an anomaly?

I could have sworn that in my previous builds the clock was same in BIOS and Windows. Perhaps I remember wrong...

It should be the same....

Off topic question, Do you have Dram SPD write set to disabled or enabled?

Where to find the "Dram SPD write"

I didn't find from BIOS options:

Huh. MSI and the wording..... Must be DIMM SPD alias.... Not sure. 

 

Having an issue with Taiphoon burner reading my memory after a set all defaults last night. I think it has to do with the DRAM SPD Write being enabled, but I'm not sure. Was just wondering.

Oh and for the Windows 11 time thing, I had to set mine in windows, it was 2 hours off. Bios is set in 24hrs mode, windows is not. But the setting stuck, I didn't do anything special. That includes setting all defaults last night. So the OC wasn't an issue.

 

Sleep, I can't help. I never sleep my rigs. All or nothin' haha XD
