Control Panel, Date and Time and set time for Internet Time if your are not on a domain. Domain computers get their time from the Server

Set the time from the command line (example sets the time to 2:30 pm)
TIME 14:30

Not for points - simply an observation. If the affected PC has lost time with each fresh boot, the CMOS coin-cell battery on the motherboard (usually a non-rechargeable 3 volt Lithium CR2032) might be going flat. While powered up, the CMOS memory that stores some BIOS-related settings and the computer's time is powered from the board, but when the PC is powered down the battery has to supply the trickle of power to the memory.
