I'm really surprised the programmers didn't include a feedback loop so at reasonable time intervals the system checks its time with its time servers time when you go online, and sync itself, if necessary.
Decent link to changing your time setting via Windows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IW1b-fCx2U

- If Windows made boats they would sync themselves.
They do. It sounds like you need to fix your registry values:
If you go into the registry, hunt for: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient.
Right click on the SpecialPollInterval key, then click Modify.
That's the time -- in seconds -- between when syncing happens. You can set the date for 01-01-0001, and it won't matter. In XXXXX number of seconds, you'll sync and reset the time, or else a vast majority of windows based software won't work properly anymore.
