Fixing WSL time out of sync issue in Windows

If you use WSL, you might have noticed that from time to time you will encounter errors and issues with Linux utilities, tools, and programs that are time-sensitive. This is because the time in the WSL environment is different or not the same as the host (your computer).

To fix this issue on [Ubuntu WSL] run this command.

sudo hwclock -s

The command above re-sync the hardware clock and set it to the correct time.

This is an ongoing bug and might get fixed in a future Windows update, until then this is the only solution I found.

I compiled a list of software and services that I use to improve my workflow, here is the link to the list.
