Windows 10: Why would Windows time server, time.windows.com be missing letter m in your system clock...

In my system clock I noticed Windows time server wasn't filled out properly! So I attempted to fix the problem and fill in clock one with time.window.com . But for whatever reason it would not let me fill in the last letter.

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.

Clock displays wrong time

I suggest you to follow the below steps to change the settings of time and time zone:

• Press “Windows+X” and click on “control panel”.
• On the left hand side click on “clock, language and region”.
• Click on “change time zone”.
• And then click on the tab “internet time” and click on “change settings”.
• Check the box “synchronize with an internet time server” and also select the option “time.windows.com” from the drop down and click on “ok” and check if the issue persists.

Hi Amruta,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I will require few information to understand the issue better.

• From when are you facing this issue, was it previously working correctly?
  
• You can check if the Windows time services are working properly.
  

Steps:-

1: Check the status of Windows time service.

1. In the desktop window, Press windows key + R.
2. Type services.msc in run window.
3. From the services window find 'windows time' and double click on it.
4. If service status is stopped, click on start and press ok.

2: Check if the date and the time zone is set correctly.

Try restarting the windows time service and check:

1. Single click on time and date display at the right bottom of screen.
2. Select internet time tab and click change settings and click update now and press ok.

3: Try to Synchronize with internet clock:

1. Open control panel and click on Date and Time icon.
2. Click/tap on the Internet Time tab, and click/tap on the
   Change settings button.
3. If prompted by UAC, click/tap on
   Yes.
4. Check the Synchronize with an Internet time server box, select a
   time server, and click/tap on Update now.
5. If an error occurred, then click/tap on Update now again to see if it may successfully synchronize now.
   
6. When the clock is successfully synchronized, click/tap on
   OK.
7. Click/tap on OK.

Hope it helps.
