Hi all,
anyone that uses Linux and Windows (dual boot), may well know the problem syncing the clocks between the 2 operating systems, a simple cheat to solve this problem below!.
Lie to one of the operating systems; as simple as that, I leave Windows showing "Set time automatically" and the correct zone (CET = Amsterdam, Berlin etc but not "Set time zone automatically") and tell Linux (Kubuntu 17.04 in this case) that I am in the Azores (take out tick for "Set date and time automatically"), this syncs both clocks and when you switch between the two, the clock still shows the correct time.
If I don't lie to one of the systems, there is normally a 2 hour time difference, using the method above, both clocks always show the same time!.
You may need to play around with the different time zones depending on where you are in the world!. 
My settings for both operating systems:
Windows 10 Home Edition
Kubuntu 17.04
