SOLVED Issue with clock in top panel incorrect but widget correct time
Hi, been a while since I booted my Q4OS. A few weeks ago I logged in and noticed that the panel clock is an hour behind the correct time but the desktop widget is showing the correct time.
Q4OS: Aquarius 5.8
Plasma version: 5.27.5
Global theme in use is Ayopalli.
Application Slyte: Oxygen
Plasma Style: Frosted
Colours: DeepinDark
Window Decorations: Plastik
Icons: Windows-Beuty
Cursors: Apple-cursors

This is the correct time and is reflected in the Widget on the desktop - the top panel is still an hour behind. If I change the theme to a standard plasma theme then the clock shows correctly in the Plasma panel - the panel on display I believe is part of the Ayopalli theme which might have a bug or it has not been updated. I notice that Discover updates themes and icons on a pretty regular basis, so I suspect Ayopalli is not playing ball.

Not exactly. I recently updated my Windows 7 64-bit to Windows 10 64-bit on a hot-swap drive.
I have had other issues with a minimalist weather app prior to this, think it was Chac something and after an update the system says the widget is present but not showing - could be a hard drive pre-fail?

Solved the issue - the panel clock is "HTML Clock" - no updates. I had to uncheck "Timezone offset".
