* Follow these instructions if you are having issues where your machine's time is incorrect and you are unable to 'Sync now' as seen in the image below *
Method 1:
1. In the bottom left search bar search for 'Services' and run the application as an administrator
2. Once the Services application is open, navigate through the list of local services to find 'Windows Time' and double-click it
3. If the current Service status is set to 'Stopped', then click 'Start'. If the current Service status is set to 'Running' then click 'Stop' and then 'Start' to restart the service. After you have either run or restarted the Windows Time service, ensure that the status is set to 'Running' then change the Startup type to 'Automatic' and click Apply. Once complete, your screen should look like the image below and you can click 'OK' to close the window. (IF YOUR TIME IS INCORRECT, PROCEED TO METHOD 2)
