Having the computer time pull from time.windows.com will sometimes cause time to be incorrect for the system, sometimes being off by a few minutes, sometimes being wrong entirely. Attempting to turn on "set time automatically" also doesn't work properly at times. I've changed the Internet time pull site to time.nist.gov for the time being which appears to have solved the issue, will continue to monitor. It's entirely possible that my CMOS battery is failing as well, which I will be changing out soon as well.
✔️ Expected Behavior
Time should be pulling correctly from MS Servers, could be resolved by changing default to govt time servers
❌ Actual Behavior
Time shows incorrectly intermittently when pulled from MS servers.
Other Software
No response
Additional Context
This was probably only discovered due to a failing CMOS battery, probably not easily reproducible
