Time service not running
My wife told me that the clock was off by over an hour on her Win8.1
desktop. I brought up the clock setting window (click on the clock). I 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? -- Tim Slattery tim at risingdove dot com |

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. -- Windows 10 https://app.box.com/representation/file_version_74032471857/image_2048/1.png?shared_name=jx7x8bblrf906i7ktrvu4kn89t48b43b |

It is similar in Windows 8.1 and Windows XP as I remember I have found that what ever reason I have to change time servers occasionally. To do this go go the Control Panel, Clock, Language and Region, Date and Time. In the Tab: Internet Time, Change Settings In the window that pops there is a Server Window. You have the selection of several time servers. time.windows.com This is the default time server for the Windows install. I use time.nist.gov This is the Universal time server for the US which many institutions use when they need absolutely correct time use ie Astronomy, ect. I use the same time server for my Router/Modem. If the router/modem's time gets out of sync with the computer you can have internet problems. While you in the Date and Time you can check to insure the time zone has not been changed, and the Daylight Saving Time has been checked. |

The service on my Windows 8.1, is set to manual start. Which means either prompting from the dialog to update the time, must be starting it. Or maybe something is in Task Scheduler to kick it off every once in a while. https://s32.postimg.org/dsiazzz0l/W32_Time.gif The service has no dependencies. There is supposed to be a troubleshooter for this, but it's not in the Control Panel : Troubleshooter entry that I could see. And while I could find an article that claims some people get permission errors, there was no resolution in that article for a permission error problem. That only leaves pages like this. And this doesn't appear to be nearly enough. As it doesn't address debugging Firewall settings. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/...=ws.10%29.aspx net stop w32time w32tm /unregister w32tm /register net start w32time Paul |

When the time on the computer becomes different from the time on the ISP, errors will be created. (From experience I do know that when the ISP and Computer time are different you have internet problems.) Therefore you must use a reliable and accurate time server like time.nist.gov I am retired and for my personal schedule the time in months is sufficient to keep me on schedule. ;-) |

Internet uses its own time system and never relies on computers to give it correct time. On any netwrok system servers provide the time for any transactions. When I access any service in USA, the time logged on their system is their time not the time on my computer. Time on computer can be anything you want. Try sending an email using web based UI (after you changed the computer time) such as Hotmail or Google and see what time it has. -- Windows 10 https://app.box.com/representation/file_version_74032471857/image_2048/1.png?shared_name=jx7x8bblrf906i7ktrvu4kn89t48b43b |
