I was thinking the same thing, too. I ran into something similar occasionally (FREQUENTLY) until somewhere I stumbled upon a/the tip about I THINK it was setting the clock via BIOS as universal time (UTC). You then set the [operating system] clock per installed package's features based on one's personal needs. As soon as I did that on my own system, I never ran into the problem again. I just tried a similar search to verify before sending this out, and that *is* what I'm seeing reflected back as one "recommendation" without even going to any of the websites returned in the search. It's that [operating systems] expect to find time set as UTC in our BIOS, and the problem comes up when it's set to our local times. And it *was* the same situation for me as I think more on it as I write this up. The clock was inconsistently sometimes correct, sometimes wrong with no predictable pattern until I made that BIOS adjustment.... .
