Keeping time has always been a problem for computers, as their internal clocks needed something to synchronize with. If you have an Internet connection and use Windows, you can get the time adjusted regularly using a time set function from Windows online. The CMOS battery will have little to do with time settings, unless it goes bad. Then, not only will your date and time go out of sync, so can many other settings in the CMOS. So, unless you are getting a low battery warning, or both the date and time are out of sync, you probably don't need a new CMOS battery and replacement probably won't fix you time drift issue.
In Windows 10, to get auto time sync, go to "Settings", then select "Date and Time". Under this you will see an option to "Set Time Automatically", as well as to select your time zone.
Hi Terry, I already know about the Windows settings. I have done all those things, so I don't believe it is a software/ Windows settings issues. I continually reset it despite the "automaticIcally", and it will gradually lose time. The location and time zone and daylight saving is correct. That is why I am asking about the CMOS.
