Windows 10: Synchronize Windows Time Server at Logon?

What I'm looking for is a file or script or some way to have Windows 10 Pro v1909 update with the Windows Time Server automatically at system logon. The reason for this is that my system is a dual-boot setup with a Linux distro, and when I have been using the other OS, the time shows up as something like: 23:59, when the actual time is only 16:00 (Yes, I use military time, and that's 4 PM.)

So, what I want to do is have something setup to synchronize the system's time on login so that I don't have to continuously reset it manually after a reboot.

Synchronize Clock with an Internet Time Server in Windows 10  


With me the Windows time is about 2-3 minutes off.

I did try to resync
Control Panel\Clock, Language and Region->Tab Internet Time change settings
using both time.windows.com and time.nist.gov
no change

then w32tm /resync
then set services.msc windows time->automatic

still no change.

didn't go thru the steps of Joanne: would not know where to find this 'SpecialPollInterval'-thing.

discovered this 'wrong windows time' as I normally set all clocks and my wristwatch to Windows.
Updated all times when changing from Feb. 29 to march 01 and started missing the news on the radio and tv.

Will not be using Windows time anymore.

Synchronize Clock with an Internet Time Server in Windows 10


Hey Brink

Just passing by to say that I face "difficulties" with Windows Clock synchronization, as well. Initially, on my main OS (Windows 10 Pro build 10586.71), I had the clock left on its default settings. From time to time I went and tried to sync manually but I had to try twice or thrice for my computer clock to synchronize with the time servers Windows 10 provides by default.

I then went and set it to synchronize every 24 hours instead of the X number of days it takes by default. I changed the number of seconds, you know what I mean. Well...it does not work and I do not know why. Then I went on and added a couple more time servers, following a tutorial from Vista forums. The newly added time servers work, so the clock synchronizes more easily but still it does not do it 24 hours after the last synchronization, as I have set it up to. So, now I synchronize the time manually.

Any ideas what I could try?

Thank you.

Hello Joanne,

I assume that the tutorial below is the one you used to set the sync interval.

Internet Time Synchronization Update Interval

If your time is always off, then you might also check your BIOS/UEFI time to see if it's set correctly, and if the CMOS battery on the motherboard may be weak or dead.
