Hi,

Would you check your windows updates?

I have a similar problem with my VMware workstation 14: I noticed every now and then the clock will be wrong by about 1min, but be back a very short time afterwards.

Turns out that this happens EVERY 60 SECONDS, but only lasts for a VERY short time

The following shell script will alert for time running backwards, in my setup I can see that about every minute

#!/bin/bash

LAST=$(date +%s)

while true ; do

    NEW=$(date +%s)

    if [[ $NEW < $LAST ]] ; then

        echo "TIMEWARP $(date)"

    fi

    LAST=$NEW

    sleep 0.001

done
