My Surface Pro X currently displays 14:31.

I'm in France, it's 13:27. I'm confused about how one can mess so much with this basic feature. It's not even a timezone issue !

Are you dual booting perhaps? I had this issue on my desktop where linux would display the proper time, but windows would be an hour off no matter what I did. It turns out linux wrote the time it got over NTP to the hardware clock as UTC(the correct way). Windows would then read the hw clock but interpret it as UTC+1(my timezone). Here the relevant archwiki entry: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/System_time#UTC_in_Wind...
