If Windows 10 not syncing time or displays wrong time, continue reading below to fix the problem. You may have noticed that your computer doesn’t sync to the time of your new location after moving to a new country. Your computer may also not sync to the correct time every time you restart the device, and you should always manually update the date and time on every restart.
The time synchronization problems usually occurs when the Windows Time service is disabled or when Windows fails to synchronize the time with the Internet time server, with error: “An error occurred while Windows was synchronizing with time.nist.com. This operation returned because the timeout period expired.”
