How do I prevent an incorrect clock in Windows after booting Ubuntu?

Ubuntu saves the current time to the machine hardware clock in UTC. Windows saves the current time to the machine hardware clock in the local time. Because Ubuntu and Windows save the current time to the machine hardware clock differently, the current time displays incorrectly in Windows after booting Ubuntu.

To fix this problem:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run window. Type cmd then press Ctrl + Shift + Enter.

   This command opens the Command Prompt window with elevated (admin) privileges.

2. In the Command Prompt window, run the command: reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation" /v RealTimeIsUniversal /d 1 /t REG_DWORD /f.

   If Windows asks to update the clock due to DST (Daylight Savings Time), let Windows update the clock. The current time will be saved to the machine hardware clock in UTC but will display in Windows in the local time.
