Windows 10: Windows time always out of sync after reboot

I have my desktop setup with a dual boot. Each operating system has it's own unique drive. Now after setting this up my clock on Windows is always out of sync after starting up computer. When I go to the "Date & Time" page and click sync, the time resyncs no problem. Every time I reboot into Windows I have to resync clock manually.I have set time zone automatically turned onI have set time automatically turned on

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?

 

Windows Displays Wrong time after every reboot

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I appreciate your effort on this. As you have mentioned that the Windows Time Service is set to Manual and sometimes is switched off, I suspect this could be an issue with the Windows Time Service. I suggest you to refer the steps mentioned below:



Method 1: Re-register Windows Time DLL file



I suggest you to try re-registering the Windows Time dll file and check if that helps in resolving the issue:

1. Type Command Prompt in the search bar on the
   Taskbar.
   
2. Right click on Command Prompt icon and select
   Run as administrator.
   
3. Type regsvr32 w32time.dll and hit
   Enter.
   

This will re-register the dll files for Windows Time service and will help you sync the time.



Method 2: Re-register Windows Time process



The Windows Time file (W32tm.exe) is used to configure the Windows time service settings. Re-registering the service will run the time service as a service and adds the default configuration to the registry.

1. Type Command Prompt in the search bar on the
   Taskbar.
   
2. Right click on Command Prompt icon and select
   Run as administrator.
   
3. Type the following commands one-by-one and hit
   Enter:
   

• net stop w32time
  
• w32tm /unregister
  
• w32tm /register
  

Method 3: Sync Time using command prompt



You can use command prompt to sync Windows time. Follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Type Command Prompt in the search bar on the
   Taskbar.
   
2. Right click on Command Prompt icon and select
   Run as administrator.
   
3. Type the following commands one-by-one and hit
   Enter:
   

• net stop w32time
  
• w32tm /unregister
  
• w32tm /register
  

• net start w32time
  
• w32tm /resync
  

If the issue persists, you may have to check the CMOS battery, which is responsible to store the Time. As you have mentioned that you bought a new laptop, I wonder it could be under warranty, so I suggest you to get in touch with the manufacturer of
the computer or place of purchase and get the battery replaced.

Time sync not working

Hello,

For some reason time sync is not functioning correctly on my new laptop. I feel like for some reason it has something to do with permissions. So far I've tried to troubleshoot it myself but nothing seems to function. Due to inability to sync the time some
online games that require timestamp certificates in order to function.

This problem has been ongoing since I took the laptop out of the box, but I briefly managed to somehow fix it. Now the fix doesn't work anymore tho. I will explain this later in more detail.

I've gone through this list Windows Time Service Missing: 8 Methods to Restore It which includes

1. Perform SFC and DISM scans
   • These came out clean, no issues
2. Set the Windows Time Service to automatic
   • This was set on automatic and it says "running" but still the time wont sync"
3. Make sure that the Local System account starts the Windows Time service
   • I have set this as the local system account and the process starts normally without error messages. I managed to get the sync to work for one day by changing the "Log on" option from local system account to another account. Now it doesn't work anymore for
     some reason.
4. Register the W32Time file again
   • Did this, No effect
5. Check the Windows Time Service in the Task Scheduler
   1. Checked this, everything seems to be normal except for the fact that ForceSynchronizeTIme has Unspecified Error (0x80004005) as the last run result. However SynchronizeTIme
6. Use a different time server
   • When trying to switch servers it gives the error that sync failed because request timed out. Same result for every server.
7. Force Windows to sync the time
   • Does not work, cmd gives the following message: The computer did not resync because no time data was available.
8. Use sc triggerinfo command
   • Did not work
9. Check your motherboard battery
   • Battery is fine, don't think this is the issue since the laptop is brand new

If anyone would have any insights or suggestions I would be happy to hear them!
