How to pause system time on Windows? [closed]

I am intereseted in any method of making sure that functions such as the C++ now() return the same thing when called multiple times in a row.

The ideal solution is reversible and works on a Windows 10 laptop (CMOS battery not removable).

This doesn’t make a lot of sense. now() returns the current system time and the current system time is always progressing. If you want a function to return the same value every time you call it then make your own new function. Wrap the now() function if necessary.

@Appleoddity well, this is exactly what I am interested in: a way of stopping the progression of the current system time.

If you're using code and the now() function or whatever and when you call that function you set a variable with that time, and then you just reference that same variable later on and it will retain the same time as long as you code the logic accordingly so you set the variable like that and ensure your additional logic doesn't change it. When you call now() it will get "current" time, so set the first now() current time as a variable that will not change and just reference that variable rather than using now() on subsequent runs of that logic.

I.e declare my_now() and code it as if testing, return same value, else call now()
