Question UEFI set up - date and time

Guys,

I'm getting ready to build a new machine, my first with UEFI. System specifics: ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4, Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB Crucial Ballistix DDR4-3200 16 GB kit, WD Blue SN550 NVMe m.2 1TB, AMD RX 560 4GB video card.

So, here's my question. I've reviewed the manual, and am pretty clear on how to set up the EUFI. I know the manual is not all encompassing, and the one thing I don't see is how to set the date and time. Is that something that's so basic the manual passes over it, or is it one of those "secret settings" that you have to dig for?

In the BIOS days (no such thing as UEFI when I built my last machine) the time and date settings were the first thing you encountered. Is that so in EUFI set ups?

TIA,

Jeff
 
BIOS/UEFI time is set by the operating system anyway (either local time or UTC, depending on operating system and settings). No point in manually setting it.
 
There can be an issue if the system clock has a wildly incorrect date setting. A YouTube channel run by Cary Holtzman had an issue where the system clock had been accidentally re-set by the owner to something like the year 3031. A Windows install attempt kept failing, until the year was manually re-set in bios to the accurate date.
