  1. Can not change the internet time server


    Dear all,

    I have checked many sources including MS official pages. They claim that the list of time servers can be modified by entering a new time server e.g. ntp11.admin.ch in the field of the dialogueDate and Time > Internet Time > Change settings…

    When entering any string into that field and using button Update now I get an error
    Date and Time
    An error occurred
    Your changes could not be saved.

    Even If I now select what was in already time.windows.com I get this message.

    In the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\datetime\servers there are the following entries defined:

    default 0
    0 ntp11.admin.ch
    1 ntp12.admin.ch

    2 ntp13.admin.ch

    3 time.windows.com

    4 time-a.nist.gov

    5 time-b.nist.gov

    But the list in Date and Time > Internet Time > Change settings…" shows only two entries:
    time.windows.com

    time.nist.gov

    Note: the second is not in the REG list at all

    → where do these entries come from?

    → why are the entries from REG not taken?

    → Why can I not change the time server to what I have defined in the REG?

    :)

    Windows fails to synchronize with internet time - it times out

    Hi,

    You might have a different Date and Time configuration that's why your Windows fails to synchronize with
    Internet Time. To have this checked, try to change the server in your Internet Time Settings by following the steps below:

    • Go to Control Panel > Date and Time.
    • Click on the Internet Time tab: then, click on Change settings.
    • Try to change or choose the Server, tick on the Update now, and click on
      OK.

    Let us know the results after following the resolution provided.

  4. Can not change the internet time server

    Time Every Day Changed my Self

    Hi,

    We would like to isolate this issue that you're having right now. What troubleshooting steps you have done so far? In case you already performed basic troubleshooting and still having issue with the time and date, it is much better to have a technician to
    check your CMOS battery personally if it's still functioning.

    For the mean, we suggest you to follow the below steps to change the settings of time and time zone:

    • Press “Windows+X” and click on “control panel”.
    • On the left hand side click on “clock, language and region”.
    • Click on “change time zone”.
    • And then click on the tab “internet time” and click on “change settings”.
    • Check the box “synchronize with an internet time server” and also select the option “time.windows.com” from the drop down and click on “ok” and check if the issue persists.
    We will wait for your response.

    Regards.
