If you are using a system with dual boot (windows + ubuntu) you can experience a painful bug. Ubuntu, and other unix system, uses a different way to display the time to the user. A quick fix could be install the service timesyncd that provide an internet sync with the proper time in your timezone.

How to

Update your system

apt-get update -y

Check the time

timedatectl
# Local time: mer 2021-04-21 16:13:28 CEST
# Universal time: mer 2021-04-21 14:13:28 UTC 
# RTC time: mer 2021-04-21 14:13:28     
# Time zone: Europe/Rome (CEST, +0200)   
# System clock synchronized: yes                         
# NTP service: active                      
# RTC in local TZ: no  

Check the service timesyncd status

systemctl status systemd-timesyncd.service

If is not running

systemctl start systemd-timesyncd.service

To enable at startup

systemctl enable systemd-timesyncd.service
