Recommended action: Resync the guest clock (sudo hwclock -s, or ntpdate/chrony/systemd-timesyncd via systemd or a [boot] command in /etc/wsl.conf), or restart the VM with wsl --shutdown; do not disable apt date checks. Option: Resync the WSL clock [evidence: documented_workaround] Applies when: After sleep/resume Steps: 1. sudo hwclock -s (or sudo ntpdate <server>) 2. Optionally automate via systemd time sync or /etc/wsl.conf [boot] command 3. Or wsl --shutdown and reopen Expected: date matches host; apt/TLS work Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
