If you are seeing problems like incorrect system time or other time-related issues (which might not be evident in these logs), try manually syncing your time settings:

  1. Go to Settings > Time & Language > Date & Time, and under "Synchronize your clock," make sure it's set to automatically synchronize.
  2. You can also manually trigger a time sync by running the following command in Command Prompt

If you are not running a Hyper-V environment but still see VMICTimeProvider messages regularly, consider reviewing your Virtual Machine settings (if applicable) or removing any leftover virtual machine tools/drivers that might be causing these messages.
