    Automatic clock on Windows 10 not working. I know how to set Manual clock. The auto clock shoule work. I am connected to internet.

    Hi,

    If the Windows 10 Clock Time is wrong or not synchronizing, we need to check first if your
    Windows Time Services are set on Automatic and
    Started    . To resolve your concern, it is also recommended that you run the
    System File Checker first to scan for and restore corrupt Windows system
    files.

    Follow the steps listed below and check if it helps:

    • Press Windows Key + R.
    • Type services.msc.
    • Click Windows Time in the Name column.
    • Change Startup type to Automatic (if it’s not already set to Automatic).
    • Click Start if the service isn’t started.
    Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested steps.

    Clock always 20 minutes fast if set on automatic


    There's at least 3 places on this list that have 30 minute offsets but that doesn't explain 20 minutes:

    Clock always 20 minutes fast if set on automatic


    I Googled 'Windows 10 clock wrong' but only results pertaining to a wrong time zone showed up and it said to set the time zone to manual and select your time zone. But the time zone of a work computer I am told to troubleshoot is indeed on the correct time zone. It does not matter if my time zone is on automatic or manual, the clock always runs 20 minutes fast.

    so I added '20 minutes fast to my search, still only got the results about wrong time zone. threw quotes around "20 minuts fast" and then got "no results for" "searching without quotes" and the same results about the time zones. There seems to be no information regarding the clock being 20 minutes fast.

    There seems to be a different issue causing it to be 20 minutes fast. There is no place in the world that is going to have a 20 minute time difference, especially in America. So I have no clue why the clock is 20 minutes fast when it is on automatic. This computer has been this way since my work has gotten the computer. Windows 10 is the original OS. We had it about a year

    I tried setting the time to manual and putting in the correct time, but as soon as I put it back on automatic, it becomes 20 minutes fast again.
