Cannot Sync time

Anonymous

Hi All,

Win 10 Home

The last time I had a successful time sync was over a year ago.

The time service is stopped, if I select properties all the options to start are greyed out (I am Admin).

If I try to run command to register/unregister w32tm my access is denied. (Again, running cmd as admin)

I have tried a manual sync in settings, and I have the options for auto sync enabled.

Can anyone help please?

Many thanks,

Neil.

    Please try the following:
