The Windows operating system has a calendar and clock. The programs installed on the computer are guided by the system time. To return the time back, you need to use the "Date and Time" component.
Instructions
Step 1
The Date and Time component is displayed by default in the notification area on the taskbar - a digital clock in the lower-right corner of the screen. If you do not see this clock, customize its display. To do this, right-click on the taskbar. In the drop-down menu, left-click on the "Properties" item.
Step 2
Alternative way: press the Windows key or the Start button, open the Control Panel. Click on the Taskbar and Start Menu icon in the Appearance and Themes category. A new dialog box will open. Go to the "Taskbar" tab in it and set the marker opposite the "Display clock" field in the "Notification area" group. Click on the "Apply" button and close the properties window.
Step 3
When the clock appears on the taskbar, move the cursor to it and double-click the left mouse button. The Date and Time component opens. It can also be called through the "Control Panel". To do this, left-click on the "Date and Time" icon in the "Date, Time, Language and Regional Standards" category.
Step 4
In the dialog box that opens, make the "Date and Time" tab active. Use the Time group to set the clock back. Below the analog clock there is a field with an electronic clock: use the mouse to select a fragment with hours, minutes or seconds and enter the values you need. Alternatively, use the arrow buttons to the right of the clock field.
Step 5
If necessary, edit the data in the "Date" group by setting the desired year, month and day. Click on the "Apply" button for the new settings to take effect and close the "Properties: Date and Time" window. You can check yourself: create any file and open its properties. The "Created" field on the "General" tab should have a time that matches the settings you specified.
