Time in Windows does not sync automatically

    I've just noticed that the time on my Windows device is syncing automatically.

    I tried adjusting the settings in the Control Panel, but that didn't help.

    Do you have any recommendations?

    You have several options here...

    I recommend following the steps below and checking if they help:

    Open the Command Prompt by typing cmd.exe into the Start Menu, right-clicking on cmd.exe and open cmd as administrator.

    Then run the following commands one by one:

    Code
    net stop w32time
    Code
    w32tm /unregister
    Code
    w32tm /register
    Code
    net start w32time
    Code
    w32tm /resync /nowait

    Once finished, your Windows should automatically update/sync your time, while you are connected to internet.

    Please note that the default time server used by Windows is time.windows.com. Some software, such as custom firewalls or privacy tools, may block this server. If your problem still persists after making the above changes, please make sure that this server is not blocked.

    You can change the default time server using the CMS command below (don't forget to run CMD as admin):

    Code
    w32tm /config /update /manualpeerlist:time.server.url.com
