When I switch on the computer, the time/date is the same
as when I last switched it off. It is not updating whilst
the computer is off. Does anyone know why?

Possibly a bad CMOS battery on your motherboard. Next time you start your
computer go into your BIOS and check to see if the time and date are correct
there. If they aren't you will need to replace the battery. Each time
Windows starts up it will synchronize itself with the system clock and then
it takes over keeping time for itself until it's shut down. Hope that solves
it for you.
