My wife told me that the clock was off by over an hour on her Win8.1

set the time correctly, and clicked the box to make it sync with an
Internet time source (the domain name was already filled in).

Then I got a message saying that the Windows time service was not
running, and I should start it. Why in the world would this service
not be running? And how do I start it?


On my machine it is stopped as well but the system time is always right.

In your case you may want to check if the timezone is set correctly. If
it is exactly one hour then it must be that you haven't set the system
to adjust for day-light-savings-time or BST/GMT for UK citizens.

Check the timezone first to see if it is correct.
