This way, when the PC is turned on, the OS can set itself to the correct time automatically. A bit of background for the interested folks:Īny modern PC uses a Coin Cell battery on it’s motherboard to keep track of time, even when it’s turned off. Not sure if many people face this one, because almost no thread on dual booting talks about this, but I sure have faced this a lot.
FORCE WINDOWS TO USE UTC CLOCK DUAL BOOT HOW TO
Here is a link explaining how to find fastboot and turn it of (follow till step 4 and try to uncheck fast startup, if it fails then continue with the rest of the steps): Once I’ve turned off fastboot, it should not get turned on. I’ve been trouble by this nasty little problem enough times that I believe Microsoft should look into not fiddling with a User’s settings. This becomes a scary situation if you’ve never faced it before, but luckily the solution is easy - Just turn the damn fastboot off! You’ll see something like “Device mount timed out” if you know where to look. Since it’s proprietry code, Ubuntu devs cannot do anything about it, and Ubuntu gets stuck in an infinite loop of trying to mount the harddisk. Every once in a while, some update comes up which turns it on, and Ubuntu fails to boot then onwards.įrom my understanding, Windows uses some kind of lock on the hard disk to ensure fast startup next time. This seemingly harmless feature annoys the hell out of me. This post is dedicated to such issues and their solution as faced by me. However, there are issues that no guide talks about and I think they’re pretty important too. I’ve been using a dual booted Ubuntu 18.04 with Windows 10 for roughly a year and half now and as usual, follow the guides on the internet for dual booting.
