Hi everyone, I noticed that the time on my laptop was a bit off. I went into Date and Time > Internet Time and saw that Windows was supposed to automatically synchronize with time.windows.com . When I tried to Update Now, I got the generic "An error has occurred when trying to synchronize to the time server". I tried changing it to time.nist.gov, and I get the same error. No router, firewall disabled, internet working fine. Any ideas?
I've seen this issue before. Some time servers just plain don't work for some reason. I would give this one a try as it usually works: time-a.nist.gov If that doesn't work you could try any of the following: time.windows.com time.nist.gov time-nw.nist.gov time-a.nist.gov time-b.nist.gov tick.usno.navy.mil Also, you could always do a quick Google search as there are lots of Time Servers around. Hope that helps....
