Having problems synchronizing with time server. Interfering with Windows Store.

Question

Having problems synchronizing with time server. Interfering with Windows Store.

DeadlockOfDeath 0

This has been a problem since I first built this PC. I have tried a ton of things including running the following commads:

w32tm /unregister
net stop w32time
w32tm /register
net start w32time
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:<time.windows.com> /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update
net stop w32time
net start w32time
w32tm /query /status
w32tm /query /configuration

I have tried a ton of things but it seems like no matter what I do it keeps on wanting to draw time from the motherboard instead of time.windows.com.

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> w32tm /query /source
Local CMOS Clock

Try;

w32tm /unregister
net stop w32time
w32tm /register
net start w32time
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:<ntp ip address> /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update
net stop w32time
net start w32time

then check

w32tm /query /source
w32tm /query /configuration

peer is unresolved

This is likely a problematic DNS server being used. Also note that some ISPs block NTP access.

I have not changed the DNS server and I have another windows machine on the same network that works just fine.

What does this do? I assumed it chages the DNS but I don't think it did

Not sure what you're asking about. Also please post the results of above commands from both.

I ran the command I don't really know what its use is. I manually changed the DNS to 8.8.8.8 but nothing changed.

Something deeper is likely broken on the non-working one. You could try a repair install of the operating system by running setup.exe from the root of the install media, but time may be better spent clean installing it.

I have reinstalled windows iso twice already, the only thing that I have not done is do a clean install. I plan to do it eventually. Il post here what the results are when I do it.

That will be the better option (clean install) in the mean time please don't forget to close up the thread here by marking answer.

The correct config command should be without <>:

w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:"time.windows.com,0x8" /reliable:yes /update
