Win 10 time is incorrect after using Linux

[Turbo2]

I installed Linux Mint 18.3 alongside Windows 10 and every time that I use Linux and then go back to Windows 10 the time is way off. I have to go to Windows settings and turn off auto time update and then turn it back on to get it to read correctly. Also, Linux has turned off my hot USB ports when the computer shuts down.

It happens all the time, so the answer was pretty easy to find.

Hot USB ports: assuming that you don't mean using your USB ports as electrical heating, what do you mean?

When I turn my computer off there is (or I should say was) power still going to them to charge phones, etc. even when the computer is off.

Then your computer isn't/wasn't really off.... Still consuming power.

Seems rather undesirable to me. When I charge my phone, I use the dedicated charger for it. And I pull it from the wall socket when the job is done: no sense in letting it use more electricity then.

I always charge my phone via the PC. It's right next to me, and since I'm the computer every day, I need my phone nearby. I have a dedicated charger by the bed and spare chargers around if needed, but it's yet to be a concern.

Set Clock Time on Dual-Boot Systems

If you're dual-booting Linux Mint 18 and Windows 10, you may find that changing time in one system affects the other and the two systems can't display the same time.

This happens as Linux Mint 18 interprets the hardware clock or real time clock (RTC) in universal time (UTC) by default while Windows 10 maintains the clock in local time.

You can fix this by keeping RTC in local time in Linux Mint, same as Windows, by running a command in the terminal below.

timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock

In spite of the suggestions to change Linux's timezone behaviour to match that of Windows, changing recent versions of Windows to match Linux's preferred behaviour may be more convenient. If you live somewhere with daylight saving, each OS will want to make the ds adjustment twice a year. If Linux is changed to match Windows, that means both will change the RTC (hardware clock), therefore a double adjustment. If Windows is instead changed to match Linux, both will only change the time "internally", by changing their offset from the (unchanged) RTC.

Augmenting the above post, here's another article for easily editung the Windows registry to force it to use UTC time where its local time is governed by the user session, the way the rest of the world's computers work.

In BIOS, set the USB ports to allow charging when the laptop is turned OFF.

I changes the registry in Windows10 and now it's back to normal. Thanks for the help.
