Time not synchronizing

Question

Synchronizing with internet time server stopped working a few weeks ago in Windows 10. Doesn't matter the time server. I already set the w32time service to Automatic, stopped and unregistered and re-registered it and restarted it, ran SFC, and everything else I see in the forums to try. I still get that "An error occurred while Windows was synchronizing with..." sometimes saying "peer unresolved." What else can I try?

Answer 1

Sorry, I appreciate your help, but no, I'm not going to reinstall the operating system just because the Windows Time Server can't reach any NTP server.

Answer 2

Good Day JoEbY-X,

I appreciate your time getting back to this thread, If the issue persists, perform Repair Upgrade, it will repair and replace any corrupted system files.

Step 1: Download Media Creation Tool from Microsoft.

Click “Download Tool Now”

Step 2: Run MediaCreationTool.exe.

Step 3: Choose "Upgrade this PC now".

Step 4: Select "Keep personal files and apps".

Step 5: Let it install

Restart once done and try to sync the time.

Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

Sincerely,

Carlo T.

Answer 3

I discovered through w32tm /stripchart /computer: /packetinfo that the NTP packet is returning error 0x80072741, if this helps. All I can find is this implies a firewall is blocking it, when I don't have a firewall.

Answer 4

Thanks for the reply, but none of those helped. It simply won't connect to any time server.
