Cannot sync time with any NTP server

Hello,

I'm getting this error each time I'm trying to synchronize my laptop clock with an NTP server:

C:\Windows\System32>w32tm /resync 

Sending resync command to local computer 

The computer did not resync because no time data was available.

I've tried out each and every solution I was able to find in the Internet, that is:

  • Verifying Group Policy settings for Windows Time
  • Restarting Windows Time server
  • Verifying the registry settings
  • Manually setting the time server to the IP address instead of name

What might be the cause (like my ISP blocking NTP protocol port? if so, how to verify it?), and what are the other solutions to keep my laptop's time up to date? It's getting like couple of minutes skew per week if not synchronized...

Regards,

Grzegorz

    Hello,

    I've tried each method from the link provided and all of them failed.

    @Hanem Nagi - I wrote a quick script in Python to connect to NTP server time.windows.com and it works correctly.

    Regards,

    Grzegorz

    Hello Grzegorz,

    My name is Hanem, an independent advisor, and I'm here to help you.

    I'm sorry that you are experiencing this issue, and I will try my best to assist you.

    first, let's check your ISP is blocking the NTP protocol port You can do this by trying to connect to an NTP server from a different network, such as a public Wi-Fi network or a mobile hotspot. If you're able to connect to an NTP server from another network, then your ISP may be blocking the NTP protocol port.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
