My Windows time is always wrong
I have used WPD (https://wpd.app/) to block all Windows telemetry, and I have also disabled features like location and camera in Windows Privacy settings.
However, I'm experiencing an issue with my computer's time being consistently incorrect. I have manually set the time and chosen my time zone as India (UTC+05:30), but every time I restart my PC after a few days, the time is wrong again. I find it disappointing that the Windows experience is not as reliable as Linux or Mac. The solutions provided on forums are too generic, and I haven't been able to find any relevant information on Google. Can you help me with this issue?

abhimanyuaryan, see if this video fix helps you anyway (works with Windows 11 as well):
Hope this helps!
Hi abhimanyuaryan,
First of all, navigate to Settings > Time & language > Date & time
- Set time automatically: toggle ON
- Additional settings: "Sync Now" to time.windows.com. Does this work?
- In addition, you can always choose another time service, such as time.nist.gov, instead of time.windows.com
Also check that the URL time.windows.com is allowed by wpd.app.
MathieuVandenHautte hey I am not sure program or setting is blocking the request. But see my windows can't receive packets from these domains when doing a ping request
- Hi,
Can your machine resolve the domains? Can you check with nslookup?
