Windows 10: Why can't change the internet time sync frequency?

Hi, I am trying to set the internet time sync frequency to every 10 minutes from the Special Poll Interval. However, it seems like a fixed frequency, no matter how much I put in the value, the frequency is every 17 mins. And I tried with the other computer, the frequency is fixed to 9 hours 6 minutes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Shawn

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?

 

Unable to Sync Time with Internet Time: Windows 11 Home 64 Bit

As the title suggests, ive been having trouble syncing my new laptops time with the internet time, this problem existed when I initialised the system the first time, which i managed to fix once, and when I had to reinstall the OS onto a new SSD, the fresh install caused the issue to resurface again.

The first time changing the system locale and copying over the settings, along with setting the time manually allowed me to update the time.

The Second time ive tried an array of different fixes suggested on the internet with no luck, everytime i either get an error suggesting network connectivity, or when i use timedate.cpl it suggests something like operation returned because the expected period timed out:
1) Changed system local (language settings) and copy those settings
2) Manually try different servers using timedate.cpl and registryeditor to add more servers to the list

3) Used services.msc to change windowstime to automatic and restarted the task

4) Used cmd to stop. unregister, register, update, start and resync w32tm (no available data error)

5) Backed up and then edited the Registry Parameters

There was a suggestion to modify Group Policy, but as a Windows 11 Home system, i cant seem to access gpedit.msc

Hoping to find a fix or some suggestions. Considering reinstalling windows 11 if all else fails
