To start with the program that we are going to talk about in these same lines, we will tell you that there are certain applications in Windows based on time. With this we say that its operating mode varies based on the time elapsed in the operating system itself.
Examples are those that are based on certain automated changes depending on the day or night, as well as alarm or reminder software. Therefore, and considering that in an operating system such as Windows, time usually passes from its integrated clock , testing this can be somewhat complex, or boring.
It is for all this that we are going to show you a simple software that solves these problems. We tell you this because we are about to review the application called Accelerify , a program to speed up system time in Windows. If necessary, if we do not have this solution, we have to change the system time manually, or wait.
Speed up time in Windows with Accelerify
Both options are not the best of the choices, especially when you have to try various situations like the ones mentioned above. So that’s where Accelerify comes in, a simple portable program that speeds up Windows system time at regular intervals.
Therefore, in principle, you should know that by default the application accelerates time by one hour every 10 seconds. Of course, at the same time we can configure the program depending on the needs of each case using some parameters that we will see. Therefore, the first thing we do to speed up system time in Windows is to download Accelerify from this link .
As it is portable, we will not need to install anything, so we can directly put the application into operation after extracting it from the ZIP that we downloaded. In the event that we want to start the program with the default configuration, we only have to run it with administrator permissions. This is important, because if we do not run it as an administrator, the program will not do anything once it is working.
How the program works to speed up time
When you run the program, a command line interface opens that automatically speeds up system time. Therefore the default setting speeds up the system time 60 minutes every 10 seconds. This is a process that the program tells us on the command line itself so that we can track it.
At the moment we want to advance and return to the original time, we simply press any key in that interface . This will end with time acceleration and restore it.
But of course, it can be the case that the default settings do not meet our needs, so we can configure this time acceleration. For this we open the Command Prompt as Administrator and we are located in the folder where the program file is saved. Once in it, we have to execute the following command: “accelerify.exe -i <interval> -a <time jump>”. For example, if what we want is to speed up the system time by 5 minutes per second, we write “accelerify.exe -i 1 -a 300”.
