Yup. You are going to need to get yourself a few plane tickets, then fly around the world, EASTWARD until you cross the date line twice. Then you should be good. Don't forget to bring your new computer.
Have you checked the BIOS/UEFI time setting?
I went into it, but it showed the correct time. One suggestion I saw online was to update BIOS, but I didn't see the option while in there, and didn't want to mess with anything in there either as its all a foreign language to me.

How about this? Not sure if it'll help... but worth trying?
Yeah, the suggestions are not working. I really have no idea what Windows 10 is doing sometimes. Seems to stall. Load fast one time and super slow or not at all other times. It's happening on numerous computers in our house and it's really starting to p*** me off.
I'll fire up a system that has little to no software loaded on it and it will not respond at all to anything after supposedly loading. I have to hard boot it and then it's fine.
Started my system tonight. Walked away for a second, came back and it was off? WTF? Started it again and it took forever to load. I can hear the Windows load sound while the round progress bar is spinning away and I have a blank screen after that for about a minute and then finally the system loads.
Thinking I should have just stayed on Windows 7. This is ridiculous.
Have you checked in the event viewer to see what is happening at those times? Could be a bad service causing the issue. Was this a fresh install, or an upgrade?
windows 10 keeps changing without my asking what icons are shown in the task bar. sometimes the volume disappears sometimes its the network. ridiculous.
my god, windows 10 networking is such a pain in the dick I want to stab my computer. before the update i finally had my surface pro 3 and my computer talking. now after the update .. no more communication.
well that is, i can see my surface from my computer. but i cant see my computer from my surface. how does that even work , ms? #### you windows 10!! omg.
edit: jesus christ. so then i manually type in the network address in the explorer bar and it works. wtf? why?
everything that was simple and just worked in windows 7 is an uglier, weirder and less reliable version in 10 it seems. ffs

Sounds like a network-related issue. Cached DNS entry perhaps...it could just as easily happen in Windows 7.
People need to stop blaming Windows 10 for every little issue.
Ya, windows home networking has been a cluster#@%$ in pretty much every version. To bad they haven't fixed it yet. Try opening a command prompt and typing
what's weird is that i can manually browse to the PC using the explorer path thinger.
I just enter in:
\\DAVID-PC
and it works just fine.
yet its still invisible in the file explorer even when i navigate backwards
stealth: i understand your point but... this just never happened a few months ago on windows 7. ever. i actually had very few networking issues with windows 7 and only started having problems when i got my 10 upgrade

Sounds like it considers your current network to be a public network and so it isn't enabling network discovery by default.
Ensure that your network is a private network and turn network discovery on.
Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Homegroup
If your network is flagged as public, it'll tell you that you can't join to a homegroup and that your computer's network location must be set to private. Click 'Change network location' and answer 'Yes' to the network fly-out to change to a private network.
Then in Advanced sharing settings (accessible from inside either the Homegroup pane or from Network and Sharing Center), you need to select 'Turn on network discovery'.
This fly-out typically happens the first time you connect to a network. The problem is that clicking ANYWHERE that isn't on the fly-out itself will close the damn fly-out, which usually happens to more experienced users who are clicking around setting their stuff up at a million miles a second.
The fly-out behavior needs to be persistent, like a dialog box. Either it receives a yes/no answer, or it stays.

Same thing happened to me last night. Was forced to do the update yesterday morning and then when I went to stream a movie on my laptop from my living room PC, magically I no longer had permissions.
Yes there are workarounds and ways to fix it, but funny how it happens as soon as I upgrade. I also notice that WMP crashes 50% of the time when I switch from one media file to another. Never happened until the update came through.
Windows 10 is fine. Everyone just complains about everything, and new stuff has both user pain learning new/different workflows and interfaces and bugs along the way to complicate learning them.
One cool feature of Win 10: Cast to device. Right click on a video, cast to device, see all my TVs that are turned on, boom, video shows up on that TV.
