Did your computer update the clock for daylight savings time?
Just curious. My Windows did not and I have it set for automatic update. My Linux did. I assume the Linux updated off the Inet. Also, if you use Windows and yours' did update; What OS and do you use something like "Automic Clock"?
That may be "Atomic Clock"? But, something in that general area that adjust the computer's clock.

Yes, mine updated. You can go to this link and follow the directions and download the patch to make it update.

Windows is not smart enough to 'know' that it is in the new daylight saving time unless it sees the transition between 1:59am and 2:00am on March 11th.
This means you will need to manually set your clock forward an hour *after* using the patch. Your system will then switch fine at the proper time from this point on.
Double click your clock > click Time Zone tab > click the up arrow and set the time up one hour > click Apply and OK.
You should probably first check to see if your clock is set to automatically adjust for daylight saving changes. Double click your clock > click Time Zone tab > check Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes > click Apply and OK.

Microsoft put out the patch a while ago through windows update, but did not put it in critical updates, and put it in the "custom" button instead. If you do a Microsoft update, click the custom button and install anything it finds here in the windows category. You should be fine at that point.
The lesson here is to not just rely on the critical updates that are automatic. You have to go there once in a while to get the miscellaneous hardware and driver updates as well.
