Hi, Matt.

I'm concerned about two problems and it would be great if you could have a look at them.

1. I have a "standalone" Windows setup but boot Libreelec from time to time from a USB stick.
Windows and LE both have correct time settings, including timezone (GMT+3 in my case).
Let's assume Windows showing correct time. If I reboot to LE it shows correct time too.
But when I reboot again to Windows after LE, Windows shows 3 hours earlier than the correct time.
The first ntp query fixes the situation but I have to do it manually or wait too long.
So, what's going on and can it be fixed?

2. Don't you know if Dell Chromebox 3010 has a TPM chip included?
I've seen in the changelog that you've disabled it.
Can it be enabled? I'd like to use it for Bitlocker under Windows.

Thank you in advance.

Windows expects the hardware clock to be set to the local timezone. Libreelec changes it to utc.

I begged the openelec team a few years ago to change it so that oe wouldn't modify the system clock as I was using openelec on flash drives set up with mysql and giving them to visitors so they could watch my media on their laptops. I hated the fact that a portable install modified the system that way (pretty intrusive).

Anyway, no one in the oe team listened to me at the time.

But for you, there is a fix. There is a windows registry setting that you can change so it uses utc as the system clock
