Anyone Had This Problem With 10?

[dsmitty308]

I have 10 Pro on a Dell laptop, quad-core with 12 GB of Ram.

Last night, I noticed the time was 12 hours off. I went to adjust date and time and had to turn off auto set time so I could set the correct time. After setting it, I turned the auto set back on. The laptop locked up so badly the only way to shutdown was to hold the power button down.

When I would boot after that, I had lost some of the icons in the tray and the start button would not do anything. Also when booting, it was very slow and went into disc checking which did nothing to improve the situation.

Luckily, I had another hard drive that had a copy on it and with it installed, it seems like everything is ok. I am using it right now.

If this is something common, I don't think I will be putting 10 on my main machine!

that's not normal, did you do an upgrade or clean install? Upgrades can be really buggy.

Additionally, you need to set your timezone to the right one for the time not to change to something way off than your actual time.

Simply changing the time shouldn't cause issues like that and the fact that you swapped drives and ran without problems kind of says that the other drive has some issues with it. Have you tried running a drive utility on it to make sure that it hasn't gone bad on you?

Upgrades can carryover existing problems. It's best to make sure your computer is clean of virus files and malware, the hard drive is checked good, and unnecessary programs removed before trying to upgrade.

It was an upgrade from a clean install of W7. The time zone was correct and the time had been correct until all of a sudden when it was 12 hours ahead.

I am going to see how well it works out with the original HD. It was a 1TB WD and the other is a 240 GB Crucial SSd.

Thanks for the replies.
