Date set to 24 Nov 2040 on OS startup

I found that after the recent update to 10.12.4, it sometimes the date time is temporality incorrect after booting into the mac. The upper bar shows 24 Nov 2040 as the date. Because I always choose to restart application on last shutdown there are many cert. problems due to incorrect date set. After some time (around 3 minutes) the time will seems sync back with time server. I encountered this problem twice and I need to restart the OS as there were plenty of popup dialogs from applications showing cert error. Although the top bar shows the date is 24 Nov 2040, if I open date time preference the date shown in the date time setting was 1 Jan 2038.

I do not know how I could avoid this from happening again.

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS Sierra (10.12.4)
