Hi

I use SetToday and SetClock to synchronize workstations' date and time with  
IP Server. After upgrading to Windows 10 it stopped working.  
Is there another way to do that ?

TIA

If you read about the API function [SetSystemTime()](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/sysinfoapi/nf-sysinfoapi-setsystemtime) that Clarion’s SetClock probably calls your program will need to be running as Administrator. Since Windows 7 Microsoft has been securing more functions that do not allow Standard User Rights to call them.

I would setup a separate SetSystemTime.EXE with a manifest that requires Elevation to Admin. I don’t think you can RUN() that you have to use ShellExecute for Elevation. The [UAC Confirmation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/uxguide/winenv-uac) will show.
