Expected behavior The clock in the Hyper-V machine is in sync with the host at all times. Actual behavior When the computer goes to sleep and is resumed, the Hyper-V virtual machine clock is delayed by the amount of time the computer was asleep. This causes all sort of subtle issues, e.g. I just s…

Thanks for reporting - we’re actively working on time-sync improvements!

Also, does the VM clock catch up with the Windows one over time, or is it permanently stuck in the past?

When I have this problem, it does not appear to catch up, but I only typically give it about 20 minutes which it the amount of time it takes me to figure out what is going on and restart dockers :wink: My scenario is cmake no longer will allow me to compile because it thinks my mounted directory is …

also a mac problem too [image] Syncing clock with host Docker Desktop for Mac I see clock skew errors again intermittently after sleep in a centos 6.7 container.

I also observe the problem for Windows and various different containers. In my cases I do not observe that the time catches uo with the system time. Only a restart will sync the time again. I am using the Windows version with Hyper-V.

this is an annoying problem! I also heavily see it on my Windows (10) host. Any forecast when it will be solved? Is there a convenient workaround except rebooting the PC?

Is your clock permanently stuck or does it catch up?

Permanently! When I wake the PC up from hibernate (or standby), all running containers seem to have forgotten about the time in that mode. That means for example, after a weekend of inactivity, the clock will be running late by two days. And this situation will persist until you restart docker. Tha…

Confirmed I have experienced the same behavior running Hyper-V based Docker VM. I can see this affecting a lot of people who run on laptops and sleep the computer. I have occasionally been able to restart the container to fix.

In my mind this is a critical bug, I am forced to restart docker several times during the day.
