Windows 10: changing time clock update

Just as the title states where can I find in the registry the keys to edit to change how often and what server(s) the automatic time update updates my computers clock? I cant seem to recall where to find that. I thought i remembered where it was but when i searched the registry for it I did not find it. Thanks.

I checked on my device if any updates were needed and it said no. Where do I get it and how do I install it?


What device are you running?

Apparently other people have the same problems, and no answers are out there. I guess I'll have to try to find some live person at either Microsoft or AT&T (my service). Will post if I find out anything.

 

Your clock should be synced to your PC and not a server.

 

I realize that bunny; but; there must be a way to change what server(s) the clock syncs to and how often; isnt there? I know there was a way to do that in previous versions of windows like 7 and so forth; but where in the registry can you find it in this one?

 

I have no idea but generally the time on your OS is from the time on your motherboard clock and that doesn't come from a server.

This might help:
Sync the clock on Windows 7 to the time server more frequently - Super User

 

To change the server, go to Control Panel, then click on Date And Time, then click on Internet Time, from there you can change the server it syncs with. This doesn't change how often though, but you can tell it to sync immediately.

There is a scheduled task for time synchronization, but it doesn't look like the OS us using it.

 

See these instructions for changing the registry for internet time poll frequency.

Instructions from Vista days but still same even in Win 10.

 

thanks for the post..

 

I'm synced to time.windows.com

 

On Windows 10, it's:

On Windows 8.1 there are more:

I believe the @= identifies the current server used.

I exported the key from 8.1 and imported into 10 and now have the same time servers available. Just changed mine to time-a.nist.gov.

 

Thanks everyone! issue solved!
