Windows Time Synchronization (Skills / Launcher)

This procedure fixes multiple issues caused by Windows time desynchronization.

Step 1

Disable Set time automatically, wait a few seconds, then enable it again.

  • If sync succeeds: done.
  • If not: continue.

Step 2

In Settings → Time & language → Date & time, click Synchronize now.

  • If sync succeeds: done.
  • If not: continue.

Step 3 (Admin CMD)

Open Command Prompt as Administrator (or Windows Terminal (Admin)) and run:

bat
w32tm /resync
  • If sync succeeds: done.
  • If not: continue.

Step 4 (Re-register time service)

Still as admin:

bat
w32tm /register
net start w32time
w32tm /resync
  • If sync succeeds: done.
  • If not: continue.

Step 5 (Manual time peer)

Still as admin:

bat
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:"time.google.com,0x1" /syncfromflags:manual /update
w32tm /resync

Then go back to Windows Date/Time settings and click Synchronize now.
