I have to be honest and say no. I can look into the code but before I know how to fix it I am 2 hours into the future. It would be a waste of both our sleep. So. Can we pick this up again tomorrow?

I am as good as you are. I may just have fixed more things with carefully reading along the way.

(I'm letting you read quietly in a bit, but I think You are running to fast for your boots) Get the gist of date-time first, then after, learn to condition it.

One simple instance:

using System;
class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        TimeZone zone = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone;
        DateTime local = zone.ToLocalTime(DateTime.Now);
        Console.WriteLine("The Local Time is : {0}",local);
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

using System;
class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        TimeZone zone = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone;
        DateTime local = zone.ToLocalTime(DateTime.Now);
        Console.WriteLine("The Local Time is : {0}",local);
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

this gets the local time.

-- Please read the contents of this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.datetime?view=net-7.0 It explains a lot about using dates, time and years in C#

I'm sorry for the wordy-ness, but that's part of the territory.

It just means to say, if this is nearly the only thing in main() then it should be fine. If you can see something that is "conditioning" or "leveraging" the datetime struct otherwise, you get different results.

It should run no matter what, unless your surrounding code dictates other standards.

listen, I want to help out, but you are hardly giving me any responses to my questions which is kind of killing communication for me.

Otherwise this program runs and shuts after having count down without no one any the wiser.

But that timer has to "Click" some other function, right?

Like, crudely,

// A couple of variable instances.
private int _countDown = 120; // Seconds
private Timer _timer;

// constructor or load event
_timer = new Timer();
_timer.Tick += new EventHandler(timer_Tick);
_timer.Interval = 1000;
_timer.Start();

//event handler
void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    _countDown--;
    if (_countDown < 1)
    {
    //120 for 120 seconds, IE 2 minutes
        _countDown = 120;
    }
    lblCountDown.Text = _countDown.ToString();
}

// A couple of variable instances.
private int _countDown = 120; // Seconds
private Timer _timer;

// constructor or load event
_timer = new Timer();
_timer.Tick += new EventHandler(timer_Tick);
_timer.Interval = 1000;
_timer.Start();

//event handler
void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    _countDown--;
    if (_countDown < 1)
    {
    //120 for 120 seconds, IE 2 minutes
        _countDown = 120;
    }
    lblCountDown.Text = _countDown.ToString();
}
