Follow these steps to make sure your device’s clock is set correctly. An incorrect clock can cause problems when using Atlas.
1. Open date and time settings
Move your mouse to the bottom-right corner of your screen and right-click the time and date displayed on your taskbar.
In the menu that appears, select Adjust date and time.
2. Set time automatically
In the date and time settings window, find the option labelled Set time automatically.
Make sure this switch is turned on. This will allow your device to update the time automatically using the Internet.
3. Check your time zone
Below the time settings, look for Set time zone automatically. Turn this on if you move between time zones.
If you stay in one location, make sure the time zone matches your current location (for example, “(UTC-05:00) Easter Time (US & Canada)”).
If it’s incorrect, click the dropdown menu and select the correct time zone.
4. Sync your clock (optional but recommended)
Scroll down and find the Additional settings section.
Click the Sync now button. This will immediately update your device’s clock to match the official time.
5. Close the settings window
Once you've checked and updated your settings, you can close the window.
