    Windows 10 Automatic Time Setting


    I made a fresh Windows 10 installation (Upon previous install, after system crash).

    I noticed that the automatic time setting is not functioning at all.

    I did the following:

    1. Checked that the Windows Time service is active.

    2. Tried several NTP time servers.


    In all cases I received time update error from the Windows network time setting app.

    Another computer on the same network (actually same desk!) updates the time nicely with any time NTP server I use.

    The only thing I can suspect is that my new install is not yet activated (waiting for key).

    Any helpful idea??

    Thanks.

    :)

  2. Date and time does not run automatically apart from your guided setting

    Hi Gopal,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being part of Windows 10.

    I understand your concern about accessing date & time on your device. We will help you with this issue.

    Do let us know if you have turned on Set time automatically and Set time zone automatically?

    Try the below and check if it helps.

    Method 1: I suggest you to turn on automatic time setup if not yet done.

    • Type date and time in Search bar on
      Taskbar
      , click on Change the date and time.
    • Turn on Set time automatically and Set time zone automatically.

    Method 2: I suggest you to check with the status of Windows Time service.

    Windows Time Service maintains date and time synchronization on all clients and servers in the network. If this service is stopped date and time synchronization will be unavailable. If this service is disabled,
    any services that explicitly depends on it will fail to start.

    Step 1: Stop the service:

    • Press Windows Key + R on the keyboard and type
      services.msc, Services window gets opened.
    • Search for Windows Time service and stop.
    • To do so, right click on each service select Stop
    • Restart the device.

    Step 2: Start the service and set it to automatic:

    • Press Windows Key + R on the keyboard and type
      services.msc
      , Services window gets opened.
    • Search for Windows Time service, right click on it and click on
      Properties.
    • Start the service, set
      Startup type to Automatic.

    Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.

    Fluctuating Time Zone Setting

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

    I would suggest you to check if the values for “set time automatically” and “set time zone automatically” under Date and Time settings are “ON”. If not, then suggest you to make the vale to “ON” and check for the status.

    If the issue still persists, follow the steps provided below:

    • Press Windows key + R, type services.msc and press Enter.
    • Locate Windows Time from the list and double click on the service.
    • In Genereal tab, set the Startup type to Automatic.
    • Click on Apply and OK.

    Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.
