Guest Forum

I do not see a section for guest issues, perhaps something to consider.
Proxmox Guest Issues
> Windows
> Linux

In any case, I have migrated a Windows 10 guest from VMware to Proxmox and
am seeing an issue which has apparently been around. Whenever the machine
boots it has the wrong time. I have tried, I believe, all the known fixes but am open to suggestions.
You would think the Windows NTP service would sort it out, but no.

So I was able to get it to boot with the correct time finally.
I believe the issue is with VMware tools which were migrated with the guest.
The uninstaller for VMware tools would not work so I had to use a Microsoft
Fix-It tool, which appeared to have deleted the apps but actually left all the services.
I set them all to disabled and now my time is correct.

Great that you have your problem solved, so please tag it "Solved" by editing the title in the first post.

And... I need to ask what the title "Guest Forum" has to do with the problem "Time is wrong in an imported Windows VM"? :-(

That's because it's a guest issue and therefore should be at the vendor of the guest OS.

Seems to me like the community at large might like a place where they can share issues they have seen at the guest level. Sometimes it may be the vendors fault but other times is could be a simple tweak of the hardware settings in Proxmox that sets it right.
