Make windows use UTC instead of GMT (unix dual boot time sync)
Raw
readme.md

Dual booting Windows with Unix can cause windows to set the time incorrectly. This is because Unix uses UTC and sets the bios clock accordingly, but Windows assumes it's set as GMT time.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation

Update/add RealTimeIsUniversal with value 1

Now Windows will use UTC instead of GMT
