Windows 10 Time ALWAYS wrong
My system is dual bootable, Ubuntu or Windows 10. Ubuntu shows the correct time. I think this rules out a bad cmos battery.
Windows 10 always shows the wrong time. Location settings are correct, time zone settings are correct.
When I select to keep time manually, (turning off the autosync) It is fine. When I reboot, it is wrong again. When I select to automatically have windows set my time, it is fine. When I reboot, it is wrong again.
I've gotten to where I keep a clock next to my computer, and fix the time each time I boot into windows..... but there has to be an actual solution.

Yup, Thanks for your reply, but I have already done that.
When I do that, I get an error that says
"An error occurred getting the status of the last synchronization. The interface is unknown."
The time corrects until I reboot. Then it is off again.

This is a common problem when dual booting with Ubuntu/Linux. Linux gets it's time from BIOS assuming it is UTC while Windows does it assuming it is your regional time. So each OS keeps messing the time for each other. The easier way is to change time in Linux.
In linux, go to:
/etc/default/rcS
Change:
UTC=yes to UTC=no
