Windows 10: How do I set System Time from an application running in Windows10

I am running an industrial user interface in "Siemens WinCC" on a PC with Windows 10.

It communicates with a PLC to display data and handle user input.
The PLC has a time. This is considered the correct time, and I want the PC to have the same time.

In Windows 7, I could set the time from my WinCC application with this rather advanced programming I found on the Web... - if I had set the security level to "low" in the UAC User Account Control:


Set objWMI = GetObject"winmgmts:{SystemTime}!\\.\root\cimv2"

strWQL = "select * from Win32_OperatingSystem"

Set objInstances = objWMI.ExecQuerystrWQL,,48


For Each objInstance In objInstances
TimeZone = objInstance.CurrentTimeZone
PLCTime = "20" & lead_charYY,2,"0" & lead_charMM,2,"0" &lead_charDD,2,"0" &lead_charHH,2,"0" &lead_charMI,2,"0" &lead_charSS,2,"0" & ".000000+" & lead_charCStrTimeZone,3,"0"

intResult = objInstance.SetDateTimePLCTime
Next

Here I locate a special object and set the time with a special string.


In a different system, I can use the much simpler VBA-command:

time = TimeSerialHH, MI, SS


Anyway - this does not work in Windows10. There is no permission to do this.


How do I get permission to have a program set the time?


I have tried adding the user to "Change the system time" in the secpol.msc - but it still doesn't work.


Please help.

Night Light settings not switching off at the right time.

Hi Steve,

Settings may not work if there are broken system files or if there are applications causing software conflicts. To isolate this issue, please answer the following questions:

• When did the issue start?
• Were there any changes made to your computer prior to the issue?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

In the meantime, we suggest that you run the System File Checker. This is a tool in Windows which allows users to scan the system for corruptions in the system files. Please follow the steps found on this

article to do so.

We're looking forward to your response.

 

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID (windows 10)

Hi,

Thank you for the update and I apologize for the delay in response.

It must be difficult when things do not work as expected.

If the issue persists, I suggest you to check whether the applications are compatible or not from the manufactures website. If these applications are compatible, I suggest you to run the application in compatible mode and check if it helps to
resolve the issue.

Please follow the below steps:

• Right click on the Program
• Click on Properties
• Click on Compatibility tab
• Select Run this program in compatibility mode and select the operating system accordingly from the drop down list.

Please reply to us with the required information. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.
