The date & time are set to automatically update, and the time zone and
location are correct. Yesterday, the date was updated as it was reporting
November of last year. Today, the time has updated correctly but the date is
saying the Sunday the 14th (here it's the end of the 15th.)

What may be causing this, and what is the fix?
Thanks,
Sue

Did you turn off your computer on Sunday? It sounds like your
motherboard battery is going bad. At first, time will cease to
advance when turned off and later, as the battery weakens, you will
go quite a bit back in time. When Window automatically time-updates,
it will not make a big correction all at once. Instead it will speed
up the clock so that after an hour or two you should be back on time.
You don't say what server you automatically update to.

My guess: Replace your motherboard battery.

HTH,
John

Thank you, John. I was thinking it could be the CMOS battery also, but was
hoping it wasn't.

Why not? It only costs a buck or two.
