Windows time remains synchronized but browser calculations differ

Hello,

I'm troubleshooting a strange issue on two Dell Windows systems with nearly identical configurations.

Both machines:

  • Use Windows 11
  • Have automatic time synchronization enabled
  • Show the same timezone and regional settings
  • Run the same browser version    ascendant

However, when testing applications that rely heavily on user-entered date and time values, the calculated results occasionally differ between the two systems.

I have already verified:

  • Windows Update status
  • Time synchronization service
  • Regional settings
  • Browser settings
  • System clock accuracy

Before I start investigating deeper, I'd like to understand whether anyone has encountered similar behavior on Dell systems.

Specifically:

  • Can Dell BIOS time settings affect browser-based calculations even when Windows time appears correct?
  • Are there known issues involving timezone synchronization after sleep or hibernation?
  • Is there a recommended diagnostic process for verifying that system time and locale information are being interpreted consistently across applications?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.
