Improving Time Sync in Windows 11

My Windows 11 computers are configured to automatically synchronize with time.gov. I utilize the Your Universe in Motion application for syncing my timepieces. On several occasions, I have observed discrepancies of over a minute between the system time on Windows and the web link. However, when I initiate a manual sync, both times show the correct time. I am curious about the reason behind why Windows 11 does not consistently maintain accurate time synchronization.

    Check the Event Viewer for any warnings or errors related to time synchronization.
    What to do: Press Windows + X and select Event Viewer. Look for logs under Windows Logs > System that may indicate issues with time services.
  • Do you face the same issue, when you use 'time.windows.com' sync server instead?
