Thanks!

Thanks

Thanks a lot!

To others: make sure you "run as admin".
@thedom85 Thanks!

Great script, thx!

Work on Win10

Thank you, now I can keep time!

can i make a scheduled task using this?

@ahmedmoselhi Yes, you can.

If you need to run this every time the computer boots, press the Windows key + R, type shell:startup. Then you can create a shortcut. Enter the shortcut's Properties, click Advanced, and select Run as administrator.

The clock was months off on my old computer, so Windows wouldn't update the time. This can be fixed by invoking w32tm /resync /force . Will you consider updating the script, @thedom85?

@kristianrl I added this command "w32tm /resync /force /rediscover" at the end

@thedom85 Thank you very much! It was very useful.

Running w32tm /config command after stopping the w32time service would always fail because w32tm command communicates with the service using RPC calls.
