Preface

Many Linux users probably use dual-boot setups, after all, there are still quite a few software applications that are only available on Windows and require you to switch over. However, there's always been a nagging issue: the time displays correctly in Linux, but when you switch back to Windows, the time is off by 8 hours ==. This happens because Windows uses the hardware clock by default, while Linux uses network time. The good news is, you can fix this problem with just a single command.

Solution

Open a terminal under Linux and enter the command:

timedatectl set-local-rtc 1

Then enter the following to verify (not strictly necessary):

timedatectl

And just like that, the problem is solved—super simple, right?
