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

Question

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

Answer 1

I reset my computer and upgraded it to Windows 11. Unfortunately, this didn't resolve the time synchronization problem, but at least the issue with the Windows Store was fixed. I think the actual solution came before the reset, when I manually adjusted the CMOS clock in the BIOS to match the current time according to time.is. Prior to that adjustment, the BIOS clock was about 10 minutes off.
