Hi,
Somehow my Windows fail to sync time with the following error "The computer did not resync because no time data was available."
I have this issue on 2 different computers, where I've just formatted and reinstalled "Windows 10 Enterprise - MultipleActivation" iso from my Visual Studio Subscription.

C:\Windows\system32>net stop w32time

C:\Windows\system32>net start w32time
The Windows Time service is starting.
The Windows Time service was started successfully.


C:\Windows\system32>w32tm /config /update
The command completed successfully.

C:\Windows\system32>w32tm /resync /rediscover
Sending resync command to local computer
The computer did not resync because no time data was available.

Any idea?
Thank you

    Step 1. Open the Run dialog box, and then type regedit in it and hit Enter.

    Step 2. Navigate to the following path through the left search bar.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesW32TimeParameters

    Step 3. Find the string value called Type, and then right-click it and select Modify from the context menu.

    Tip: If the folder doesn’t have the Type string value, you can create a new one by right-clicking the empty space and select New > String Value. Then name it to Type.

    Step 4. Change the Value date to NT5DS in the Edit String window. And then click on the OK button to confirm this change.

    Step 5. Restart your computer and check if the problem is fixed.
