If Chrome browser continues to display the time error after clearing cookies & cache and syncing your PC’s clock with the Windows Time Server, then it’s time to replace your PC’s CMOS battery - it most likely is the reason why your PC’s clock keeps failing or resetting.Ī CMOS battery is different from the regular battery that powers your laptop. Your Google account, however, will remain signed in. Note: Clearing cookies and cached files will sign you out of most websites you’ve previously logged into on the browser. Upon restart, the ‘Your clock is ahead/below’ error should no longer appear. When the process is completed, close the Chrome browser and restart your computer. That will delete all browser cookies and cache files. Step 7: Ensure that the ‘Cookies and other site data’ and Cached images and files’ options are checked then tap the Clear data button to proceed. Step 6: Tap the Time range drop-down button and change the time range to All time.

Step 5: Click the ‘Clear browsing data’ option. Step 4: Next, select ‘Privacy and security’. Step 3: Expand the Advanced settings menu. That opens the Chrome Settings menu in a new tab. Step 1: Tap the Chrome menu icon at the top-right corner of the browser. That would force Chrome to recapture date and time information from your computer.ĭeleting these temporary files could help clear this error. Chrome may be obtaining (incorrect) time and date information from these files, hence the need to delete them. Temporary files (cached images and cookies) storing incorrect or outdated calendar and time information are sometimes responsible for the ‘Your time is ahead (or behind)’ error on your Chrome browser. Note: Synchronizing your clock to the Windows Time Server requires an active internet connection. Proceed to adjust your system date and time by inputting the correct time information.

Step 4: Under the ‘Set time and date manually’ option, tap the Change button. Step 3: If your PC’s date and time are incorrect, toggle off the ‘Set time automatically’ option. That redirects you to the ‘Date & Time’ section of the Windows Settings menu. Step 2: Select ‘Adjust date/time’ option. Step 1: Right-click the date and time section on your computer’s taskbar. To fix it, simply adjust your computer’s time and date. That is another reason why you would see the ‘Your clock is ahead’ error on your computer screen. If your device’s (mobile or PC) date is incorrect, it could muddle up Chrome’s ability to verify a website’s security certificates. Security certificates help your browser keep you safe on the internet.
