- Secure Lock screen clock can be delayed up to 30 seconds after a minute change.
- The issue is due to a fixed 30-second refresh interval under SYSTEM account, not aligned to minute boundaries.
- This is a visual-only issue on the Secure Lock screen (LogonUI), no impact on system time or security.
- User lock screen (LockApp) refreshes dynamically at minute boundaries, updating almost immediately.
- No workaround needed, as the display updates within the normal 30-second interval.
