Unable to sync Windows 10 time with time servers

I have a new, OEM installation of Windows 10 that is unable to contact any time servers to sync the system time. Each attempt gives me a timeout error, and pinging the time server times out as well. Here is what I've tried:

• Checked that the Windows Time service is running and set to automatic startup, and restarted it
  
• Disabled my firewall
  
• Tried using time.nist.gov, which is currently working according to NIST
  
• These steps using w32time, which appeared to succeed but didn't update the time
  

The time is currently off by 7 hours, which shouldn't be far enough to break Internet syncing.

EDIT: Just tried the same steps on my other computer which boots only Windows (albeit an longer-standing installation of 10), and had the exact same issue, except when I try syncing it simply says "An error occurred when Windows was synchronizing with time.nist.gov." So I highly doubt it is dual boot-related. What is going on?

 

How 4 PCs can sync time with a server PC that is connected to internet? All are in a private network.

I have 1 server PC that is connected to the internet and 4 PCs which are not connected. All 5 PCs are also in the same private network. The problem i have is synchronizing time for all of these 5 PCs. Would anyone know what i can do? I need detailed steps since i'm not knowledgeable in Windows administration.

P.S.

I've done some reading up but not entirely sure what should be my approach. My current understanding is:

• Setup my server PC as a local NTP server. I saw these steps: https://techlibrary.hpe.com/docs/otlink-wo/How-to-Configure-a-Local-NTP-Server.html
  

If so, my question is

• Based on that link, it indicates to stop the windows time server. So does it mean the server PC won't be able to synchronize to the internet time?
  
• If i configure with those steps, how will my 4 other PCs know to sync with this server PC?
  

 

My windows PC is unable to sync with Internet time servers

Hi Yousef,

This problem may occur if the Windows Time service is not running. For us to better assist you, we would like to clarify the following:

• Is there an error message displayed when it fails to sync? If possible, can you send us a screenshot of the error message?
• Are you logged in as administrator?
• How are you trying to sync your PC with Internet time servers? Is it through Control Panel or Command Prompt?

We'll keep an eye out for your response.
