[SOLVED] Some Windows VMs start with incorrect clock

[penryu]

How about an option 4.

4. Ask windows to stop the silly crap with the clock and just expect the RTC to be in UTC. I did this once and it worked, but that was for a short-lived test VM so I can't say if there were problems I didn't use it long enough to notice. I'm not at my usual machine with my notes, so this page is the best I could find to explain how to set that setting.

Option 4 is almost as good as Option 3 (my ideal) ... AND works like a charm! And seeing that Windows even has this option almost raises my opinion of it...

Thank you @tomservo! And compliments on the username!

FWIW I’ve not yet found a way to have PVE honor its own VM clock setting (sure seems like a bug).

Thanks for the registry pointer.
