   Just to report how my batch uses the above with success until Win 10   
   changes something again!!   
      
   Setup.bat for _Overnight.bat ends with the following(GDate=today+1 day):   
      SET _RunAsDate=D:\_NirSoft\runasdate-x64\RunAsDate.exe %GDate% 00:07:07   
      %_RunAsDate% "C:\Users\xxxx\Dropbox\Batch_Files\_Overnight.bat"   
      
   Multiple places in _Overnight.bat(_RPT is batch log):   
      FOR /F "tokens=7 delims= " %%n IN ('NET TIME \\i7') DO SET _TX=%%n   
      SET "_LineD=  %_TX%   
      [do something]   
      FOR /F "tokens=7 delims= " %%n IN ('NET TIME \\i7') DO SET _TX=%%n   
      SET "_LineD=%_LineD% - %_TX% [something text]"   
      ECHO %_LineD% >> %_RPT%   
      
   I defined _RunAsDate because I expect that a few operations in   
   _Overnight.bat will require that to function correctly.
