Google Chrome 88 incorrect time stamp glitch on Windows PCs, official workaround available

Posted on by

Google Chrome 88 introduced a bug that renders the time inaccurate when compared to what is displayed on the Windows PC on which the browser is installed.

Currently a workaround is available which will resolve this behavior. See steps below to complete the workaround:

  1. On your Windows device, open the settings application.
  2. Navigate to Date & time.
  3. Under Time zone, select a time zone different from your own.
  4. Under Time zone, reselect your original time zone.

Google are working on determining the root cause for this behavior, and a bug has been opened to investigate this. You may track the progress of the bug in Chromium bug tracker.
