My system clock (which I can modify in UEFI) is working OK, but three hours behind me. It's always UTC+00, and changing it is useless because it often resets when my notebook runs out of battery.

I just want to know how I can make Windows 8.1 STOP syncing with it each boot?

I pressed Win+I, gone to Metro-UI settings and disabled "Set time automatically" setting but it still does it.

I also disabled the "synchronize time over internets" setting but still no effect. Can I change something in the registry to fix it?

Open regedit

Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation

Right-click in the white area and select New --> DWORD (32-bit Value)

Name the key RealTimeIsUniversal

Double-click on it and set its value to 1.
