Doubts related to server based timer

archana

Hi all,

I want to clear one doubt which i am facing regarding timer.

Suppose i have one timer in which i am generating some files. and
interval of my timer is say 5 min.

Say suppose at then my files are generated at time 12:30 am and then
as i set interval to 5 next file should gets generated to 12:35 but
what if i change my system time to 12:25 or 12:34.

So will my timer gets affected and if i reset timer to 12:32 at 12:30
will my files get generated at 12:37 or as 12:35.

Please clear my doubts.

Thanks in advance.

Please clear my doubts.

Did you try to run it ? The above questions can be easily answered by doing
that test.

I think that the timer works with an offset , it does't really care about
the time in the system but about a given number of miliseconds from the time
you started running it.
Again, a simple test will tel you how it does work in reality.

Based on the availability of resources, I use the...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
