I have no idea what windows 10 was playing at earlier today.
As Iam running code club, I tried to access stack overflow. Doing this threw up an error, something to do with a website certificate and the time on my system,
At the time it was 10:46 am but the computer clock seemed to think it was 11:45,
Unable to change the computer clock (not admin), I decided to reboot, only this seemed to make the situation worse as the computer clock was now 12:40 something, so moved forward another hour,.
Gave up.
Windows 10 = FAIL

To be fair though, NTP (Network Time Protocol) can be fairly easily compromised if its not in the secure form. We remember reading something about it. It would be a bit less precise but we think it should go over a privacy layer like I2P or Tor to limit the ability of performing targetted attacks.
The clock at the hardware level could be starting to fail too, which would not be a Windows issue.

If IT hasn't put a password into the BIOS, you might be able power-cycle, then enter the BIOS config to change the time, before the OS boots.
BIOS=Basic Input Output System
OS=Operating System
IT=Information Technology (Dept.)
