Windows 10: Windows 11 Time Sync Error: "Time synchronization failed please check network connectivity...

Hello,This past weekend I realized my computer's time is out even though it's configured to sync time automatically to time.windows.com. When I try to do a manual Time Sync I get the following error: "Time synchronization failed please check network connectivity and retry" even though I can PING the server it for some reason can't sync time. I tried changing the time server, FS Scan, CHKDSK, Registry changes, Firewall configurations, using the IP I got from pinging time.windows.com as the destination for time sync, BIOS Flash, CMOS Battery change and many more things. I ended up wiping all my

Time synchronization failed. Please check network connectivity and retry

I'm having a similar issue (no Ubuntu in the equation though). Looked at a variety of resources, such as Time Synchronization Failed on Windows 11: 9 Ways to Fix it (windowsreport.com), but still get the error when trying to click "Sync Now", and get a timeout any time I try to update the server between the windows one, the NIST one, and adding the Google one. Here's my OS information:

• Edition Windows 11 Home
  
• Version 22H2
  
• Installed on ‎12/‎3/‎2022
  
• OS build 22621.1344
  
• Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22639.1000.0
  

 

time synchronization failed please check network connectivity and retry

I am having issues with syncronizing the windows time, it comes up with a "time synchronization failed please check network connectivity and retry" message.

Have checked/tried:

Windows Time service is running and set to automatic

Tried other time servers, for instance pool.ntp.org, time.nist.gov

Tried "Use command prompt to force time sync", ended up with "The computer did not resync because no time data was available."

SFC /scannow returned no issues

Suggestions?

Hi,

R. Cord here, Independent Expert. Hope you are doing well.

You can check your time zone settings: Verify that your time zone settings are correct both in Windows and Ubuntu.

A mismatched time zone can cause time synchronization issues.

Try to use a different time-server: Try using a different time-server, such as pool.ntp.org, to see if that resolves the issue.

If none of the above steps work,

you can try to disable time synchronization in Ubuntu: you can try disabling time synchronization in Ubuntu altogether. To do this, run the following command in Ubuntu: sudo timedatectl set-ntp false.

Then, try synchronizing the time in Windows again.

Check for dual-boot issues: Dual-booting can sometimes cause time synchronization issues. You may want to try disabling time synchronization in both Windows and Ubuntu and setting the time manually in both operating systems.

Hopefully, I hope one of these steps will help you resolve the time synchronization issue.

Regards,

R. Cord
