This is not an Ubuntu problem, but a bug in VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/16181

You have already asked this question twice, and I have already told you twice what to do as workaround:

Open system settings and disable automatic time synchronisation, and enable it again.

Other possible workaround:
In a terminal windows issue the commands
timedatectl set-ntp off
timedatectl set-ntp on

(And, just as clarification: The dialogue box for manually setting the time is inactive as long as 'automatic time sync' is switched on. But, as already written above, there is no need to manually set the time, just switch automatic time sync off and on again.)

Please don't post in all caps. It's harder to read and looks like you are shouting. SO DON'T

As I have seen in many such related Ubuntu time settings incorrect posts: This the above DOES NOT correct this issue!
when will this ever be fixed?
