Windows server 2022 Time (can not change)
There are a few things you can check to try to resolve your issue.
- Group Policy
First, check to see if there is a Group Policy object (GPO) that is preventing you from changing the time. To do this, open the Group Policy Management Console (gpmc.msc) and navigate to Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Scripts (Startup/Shutdown). If there are any scripts configured under Startup, review them to see if any of them are preventing you from changing the time.
- Registry
You can also check the registry to see if there is a setting that is preventing you from changing the time. To do this, open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\ParametersLook for a value called NoModifySystemTime. If it is set to 1, it will prevent you from changing the system time. To disable this setting, double-click on it and change the value to 0.
- Windows Time service
If you've checked the Group Policy and registry and you still can't change the time, it's possible that the Windows Time service is not configured correctly. To check this, open the Services console (services.msc) and locate the Windows Time service. Make sure that the service is started and that the startup type is set to Automatic.
Ensure that the Windows Time Service (w32time) is running. You can start it by running the following command in an elevated Command Prompt:
net start w32timePlease click Mark as Best Response & Like if my post helped you to solve your issue.
