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?

 

Communicating with the DNS server

Since you got the error "unable to contact your DHCP server", this could be due to a disabled DHCP client. We suggest following these steps to enable it:

• Click Start.
• Type services.msc and press
  Enter.
• Find DHCP Client from the list of services and check the status.
• If DHCP Client isn't running, right-click it and choose
  Start.
• The DHCP Client Startup type should be
  Automatic. If it's not, double-click it, choose Automatic.
• Click Apply.
• Click OK.

Check if you can use the ipconfig /renew command after enabling the DHCP Client. If you're still unable to connect to the Internet after this, we recommend uninstalling your network
adapter driver by following these steps:

• Right-click the Start button and choose Device manager.
• Click the arrow beside Network adapters and double-click your network adapter.
• Go to the Driver tab.
• Click Uninstall device.
• Restart your computer. This will prompt Windows to automatically reinstall the correct driver.

Let us know what happens after enabling the DHCP Client and reinstalling the network adapter driver.

 

Problem with synching to time server

When looking through the list of events in Windows Event Viewer, I have, for a long while now, been getting, every day, several warnings that look like this:-

Event 134, Time service
NtpClient was unable to set a manual peer to use as a time source because of DNS resolution error on 'time-new.nist.gov'. NtpClient will try again in 15 minutes and double the reattempt interval thereafter. The error was: No such host is known. (0x80072AF9).

The most recent of these was today at 15:28. When I look at the internet time settings (via control panel), it says the clock was successfully synchronised with time.nst.gov on 22/10/2018 (today) at 16:19 (a few minutes ago). The list of time servers is as follows:-

time.windows.com
time.nist.gov
time.nw.nist.gov
time-a.nist.gov
time-b.nist.gov

My questions is this: Why is the NTP client apparently trying to synchronise using a server that isn’t in the list? Where is it getting the server name 'time-new.nist.gov' from? It’s not in the list - only ‘time.nw.nist.gov’.
If I set the time server to time.windows.com should it cure the problem?
