Chatter 2.0 doesn't sync clock using PC USB or Bluetooth

[mynci90]

Pardon my ignorance. I have searched all over and cannot find a solution. I have one Chatter 2.0 device connected via USB to my Windows 11 PC. The web client functions well enough (it has its own set of bugs I have discovered, but I'll report that elsewhere). The device clock shows as 00:00 and receiving messages from my other Chatter device results in the private chat displaying the timestamp from the other Chatter device as Dec 31, 1969...
How can I go about fixing this?
Meshtastic v 2.7.15
Windows 11 PC using Google Chrome web interface
I have connected both via USB and BLE

Edit: I am able to get the Chatter device to update to the correct time by first connecting the device via bluetooth to my android meshtastic app, but I would like to not have to connect it to the phone just to get the clock to sync
