I need to change my date to something wrong for some reasons. I get no errors and there are no other problems and I can see the change in the left-bottom corner, but after just after a few seconds or so, it goes back to the previous state just like nothing have happened.
P.S.: "set date automatically" in setting is off.

It sounds like Windows may be synching with a time server (aka ntp). You can turn this off in time preferences by going through the following:
1) Right click on clock in system tray -> Adjust date/time:
gives
2) Go to Internet time tab:
and click on Change Settings to give
where you can disable (or enable) synchronisation.

Hi Faridzs, welcome to Super User. By 'set date automatically', do you mean the
Synchronize with an Internet time servercheckbox? – bertieb – 2015-07-08T09:17:24.820well, I simply restarted the computer and the problem seems to be solved for now. anyway , where is that checkbox? 'cause I've had that problem before and restarting haven't helped then. – Faridzs – 2015-07-08T12:01:12.100
