Dell laptop error Time-of-day not set - please run SETUP program

[John]

Every time I turn on my DELL laptop, it shows the error Time-of-day not set - please run SETUP program. I turn it off and on again but it still happens. I have to click continue to get into Windows.
Can you tell me how to fix this problem?

Error not setting time, date for computer.
This error is usually due to the cmos battery running out so the computer cannot save the set date.
You click continue to continue, after entering Windows and the computer has internet connection, the computer will automatically update the date and time.
However, because the cmos battery is out, after you turn off the computer and turn it back on, the computer will lose the date and time.
Therefore, you need to replace the cmos battery.

Click Continue, the new generation computer will automatically update the BIOS date and time when you open it, if the problem persists the next time you open it, the CMOS battery may be dead/the battery is worn out. You have to replace the CMOS battery to fix this error. There are many cases due to mainboard errors but they are rare.

The CMOS battery is seriously damaged so the time will be wrong, then there will be a message that replace the battery and it will be done
