Might double check the sort column. Look for the ⋁⋀ caret at the top of column, or also try Action\Properties\General\Restore Defaults

Hi,
In have a unique problem in Windows Embedded 7 standard. The time goes back or forward by 1 hrs randomly.
The system is not connected to the internet. It runs a dedicated application, which controls a lab instrument's hardware.
The Event Viewer shows the time change, some times the Kernel General IS 1 shows the time changed in few micro seconds.
The Event viewer log is it stored sequential ?
If yes the in some service like the "Event Log" the time does not match e.g.
Some times its offset by some minutes.
The below table I have copied from the Event Viewer without sorting for time
Information 14-12-2020 10:51:51 Kernel-General 13 None
Information 14-12-2020 10:51:48 Service Control Manager 7036 None
Information 14-12-2020 10:47:24 EventLog 6013 None
Information 14-12-2020 10:47:24 EventLog 6005 None
Information 14-12-2020 10:47:24 EventLog 6009 None
Information 14-12-2020 10:51:48 Kernel-Power 109 (103)
Information 14-12-2020 10:51:45 Service Control Manager 7036 None
As you can see from the table the Event "EventLog" is 4 min offset.
At times the offset is in hours.
Why does this happen.

Hi Prasanna,
I am assuming write-filters are enabled on the system. Please try by configuring the system so that the CMOS clock is in UTC and not the local-time. I think that will resolve the issue. Please check and confirm if that worked.
In order to configure the system so that the CMOS clock is in UTC, first disable the write-filters, restart the system and then create the following registry key and set the DWORD value to 1:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\RealTimeIsUniversal
Enable Write-Filters again
Restart the system
See if the issue is resolved?
If the time is not effecting anything else in the system, this might be a cache or threading issue when the event is actually written to the log, which would make this an interesting non-issue.
I would look at the Windows Internals books for more information on even log operation.
Hi Sean,
I have now tried Windows 7 Pro for testing this Event Viewer issue.
I got the following in the Event Viewer.
I am attaching the File for your reference.
In this the log has skipped days in the sequence.
I am not able to understand is it RTC or its Event Viewer logging issue.57593-eventdata.pdf
thanks
Prasanna
