I need to change my date to something wrong for some reasons. I get no errors and there are no other problems and I can see the change in the left-bottom corner, but after just after a few seconds or so, it goes back to the previous state just like nothing have happened.

P.S.: "set date automatically" in setting is off.

  • Hi Faridzs, welcome to Super User. By 'set date automatically', do you mean the Synchronize with an Internet time server checkbox?

It sounds like Windows may be synching with a time server (aka ntp). You can turn this off in time preferences by going through the following:

1) Right click on clock in system tray -> Adjust date/time:

Adjust date/time

gives

Windows time settings

2) Go to Internet time tab:

Internet time tab

and click on Change Settings to give

internet time settings

where you can disable (or enable) synchronisation.
