Windows 10: Cannot change internet time settings

I am using a surface pro 6 and am unable to change the internet time settings so that my date and time do not synchronize with time.microsoft (Though I am able to change the date, time and timezone.)


I have been able to do this since I got the surface pro in June until today. All of a sudden, when I try to change the internet time settings, I get an error that says "You do not have permission to perform this task. Please contact your computer administrator." This is my personal computer, I am the only account on it and I am the administrator.


I have tried changing the user account control settings without success. I have also tried accessing local policies in the control panel but found that I do not have that option. I also tried inputting different recommended commands into the command prompt which told me that access was denied.


I have no idea what to do. I want to be able to change the time and date without it reverting back due to being synchronized.

Changing Time Format

Hi Mary,

There's a possibility that the set up time format in your computer Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is military time. To have this checked, you can try to reset the time of your computer through Control Panel. See the steps below on how to do
so:

• Open Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region >
  Change date, time, or number formats. This would open the
  Region window.
• From there, click on Additional settings at the bottom part. It will open the Customize Format.
• Click Reset; then, OK.

The steps should work; however, if not, we suggest that you contact manufacturer and have the BIOS time checked.

Let us know what happens after doing the suggestions .
