Sorry for the rather post title but I'm not really sure how to explain the issue I'm having, so please bear with me...
I have 2 machines running dual-boot, one Win7 Pro/Kubuntu18.04 and the other Win10 Pro/Kubuntu 18.04. In Windows I have the clock set to automatically pull the time from the Windows server once a week (which I believe is the default behavior). No problem there. Same thing with Kubuntu, I have the system set to automatically adjust the date/time - again, the default OS behavior. However, when I boot into Windows the clock shows the GMT time instead of my local Central Standard Time, requiring me to do a manual clock update. In other words, it's 7:05pm right now. If I log out of Kubuntu and reboot into Windows, the clock will show 12:05am until it either updates itself or I force update the time.
This happens on both systems mentioned above - the Win7 & the Win10 machines. I also have 2 other dual-boot PCs, both running Win7/Kubuntu 14.04, and I do NOT have this issue on either of those machines so I am inclined to believe this is something to do with the settings on 18.04. However, having looked around, I find there are very minimal settings in Kubuntu for the clock, and nothing stands out that might be causing this.
I do know that Linux and Windows read the system time differently - i.e. Windows has traditionally read the time directly from the motherboard clock while Linux sets the mobo clock to GMT and then adjusts it at the software level to display the correct time for the user's location. But again, I have found nothing in the minimal clock settings on Kubuntu to alter this behavior. I know this is a minor inconvenience but I'm definitely open to suggestions. Thanks in advance.
