If your time has gotten de-synced, you may have trouble operating your computer. You may get errors like this or other security based concerns.

This happens when the time your computer is set to does not match what the actual time internet servers are expecting. You can change this by right clicking the data and time in the bottom right corner.

Scroll down in that window and click on "Sync now."

If the time is still incorrect, you might also want to verify you are in the correct time zone.
