Originally I thought the time in windows 10 on my computer was flipping back and forth but I figured out all it does is slowly drift forward. Replaced the motherboard battery, checked the windows time service, it happens whether I use the option to automatically set time or not. I thought it was going back and forth because time stamps in steam were from 2 different times (one correct, one 2-20 minutes ahead) but I realized the correct timestamp was coming from the other person's computer. My time has just been straight up drifting faster and faster past the actual time. Any ideas?

ur windows timer is probably out of sync. try enabling hpet

 

cmd administrator

 

bcdedit /set useplatformclock true       and make sure hpet is enabled in the bios

 

if that doesnt resolve it, disable hpet and   bcdedit /set useplatformclock false

 

hpet is by default disabled in windows, can cause timing issues ( if its enable in bios which it usually is by default )

 

 

dont forget to reboot after bcdedit, it will only take affect after a reboot ( no workaround on that one sorry xD )

I couldn't find HPET in my BIOS but I did the console command thing and it seems to be staying in time. Only been an hour but it would normally be like 5 minutes out at this point and it's perfectly matched to my phone.

maybe ur mobo doesnt have the ability to disable it and has it permanently enabled :)

 

anyway if its not perfect yet, u need to look for tools to mess with windows timer maybe... since u cant mess with hpet settings in bios... 

 

however i think it should solve the issue x_x ( hopefully coz there isnt much more u can do )

I honestly think it fixed it. If it's going off now it'll be too far off like once a week as opposed to every 15 minutes. But I think it's working perfectly.
