How to make Win 11 sync time on boot

Fast Startup can occasionally interfere with services on boot. To disable it:

1. Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options.
2. Click on “Choose what the power buttons do” on the left sidebar.
3. Click “Change settings that are currently unavailable.”
4. Uncheck “Turn on fast startup (recommended)” and save changes.

Go to Settings > Time & language > Date & time. Make sure that "Set time automatically" and "Set time zone automatically" are turned on. In the same Date & time settings, scroll down and click on "Sync now" under "Synchronize your clock." This ensures that your system fetches the correct time from the time server.

If Windows 11 isn't syncing time on boot, here’s how to fix it:

1. Ensure Time Sync is Enabled:
   Go to Settings > Time & language > Date & time, and make sure Set time automatically is on. Click Sync now to test.
2. Check Windows Time Service:
   Open Services (Win+R, type services.msc), find Windows Time, set it to Automatic, and start the service if it's not running.
3. Use a Different Time Server:
   Open Control Panel > Clock and Region > Date and Time > Internet Time, click Change settings, and choose servers like time.nist.gov or pool.ntp.org.
4. Force Sync on Boot via Task Scheduler:
   • Open Task Scheduler and create a task.
   • Set the trigger to At startup.
   • Add an action to run the command:bashw32tm /resync

These steps should ensure your time syncs on boot.

If Windows 11 isn't syncing the time automatically at boot, here are steps to resolve the issue:

1. Ensure Time Sync is Enabled
   Go to Settings > Time & language > Date & time.
   Make sure Set time automatically and Set time zone automatically are enabled.
   2. Manually Sync the Time
   In the same settings page, click Sync now under Additional settings to verify the time server is accessible.

The Windows Insider Program lets users test pre-release Windows builds and provide feedback to improve the OS.

1. Feedback Microsoft expects: Bug reports, usability suggestions, and feature improvement ideas via the Feedback Hub.
2. Impact on Windows development: Real-world testing helps Microsoft fix issues, prioritize features, and ensure updates meet user needs.
3. Risks: Preview builds can be unstable, causing crashes, compatibility issues, or data loss. Always back up your system before joining.

Joining is great for tech enthusiasts who enjoy exploring new features and contributing to development, but it’s not ideal for critical systems due to potential instability.

Check Time Settings:
1. Open Settings by pressing Win + I.
2. Go to Time & Language → Date & time.
3. Make sure that Set time automatically and Set time zone automatically are both turned on.

Press Win + R to open the Run dialog. Type services.msc and hit Enter.

In the Services window, scroll down to find Windows Time. Double-click on it to open its properties.

Ensure that the Startup type is set to Automatic. If it's not, change it to Automatic and click on Apply, then OK.

You can access the time settings by searching for "Date & time settings" in the Start menu. In the Date & Time settings, make sure that the option Set time automatically is turned on.

You can test if syncing works manually:

• In the Date & time settings, scroll down and click on Sync now under Additional settings.
• Check if the time updates correctly.
