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 restarts when syncing time

Windows restarts without any warning when syncing the date and time, is there a fix?

 

Time Sync Issue

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



In order to get better clarity on the issue, please let us know:

• When you say, “Windows Time switches from Automatic to Manual” are you referring to Windows Time service?
  
• What happens when you try to change time on your computer?
  
• Could you please provide more information on “explanation for mistaken time sync and screen freeze”?
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently? To check type:
  winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
  Enter.
  

Meanwhile, you may want to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned below and see if that helps:



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
   
   net start w32time
   
   w32tm /resync
   

Also, try changing the Internet Time settings. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type timedate.cpl and click on
   OK.
   
3. Navigate to Internet Time and click on
   Change Settings.
   
4. Now, select time.nist.gov from the drop down and click on
   Update now.
   
5. Click on OK to save changes.
   

Let us know the results.
