Windows time and date syncing issue

Question

Hi, 

I have this problem whereby the time and date are not always syncing on my computer from cold boot. I have tried setting Windows Time to start automatically in Services Manager and to restart the service if it fails. But for some reason after each switch on it keeps going back to the manual (trigger start) option of its own accord. I would be grateful for any help. 

Many thanks.
