Windows 10: Date and Time Not Syncing Automatically

I am a Windows 10 user. I am also using Linux Ubuntu in parallel with Windows 10 as I have dual booted my laptop. The problem I am facing is that the date and time is not automatically syncing in Windows 10. Everytime I boot Windows, I have to manually sync it by going to "Date and Time Settings" and clicking on Sync Now.

The date and time in ubuntu is working just fine and shows no problem which indicates that there is no hardware issue.

The "Set time automatically" option in Date & Time settings is on but it doesn't seem to work.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanking you in advance.
