      Hiyall,
      Please look at my system in the signature.
      The time in the icon on the panel is incorrect. When I open it, it shows the year 2002! All attempts to change it have not worked.
      Can someone help, please?

        It’s an old machine. If you’re connected to the internet usually, change the Control Centre settings to use internet date and time

          Alternatively, lose the icon and look at my watch!

            Old machines might have an old battery, and if the battery goes low, the BIOS clock loses its memory. If it does you can update it, but it will just lose in again the next time you turn off the machine.

            If the time is wrong, system updates might not work.

            It’s your machine, do as you wish.
