Windows 10: Time is not in sync to the current world time for every Windows boot. Had to change time to...

Since installing windows on my laptop and after some 16xx/17xx update, every time I boot Windows, the time is irrelevant to the current time. I even tried a fresh install of Windows, but no avail. Previously I have to change time zone to some other zone and then change it back to my zone. Now, I have to use the sync option in Date & Time settings. Though I have to this process every time I boot to Windows.

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?
