Unable to synchronize with an internet time server and getting "An Error Occurred while Windows was synchronizing with time.windows.com. This operation returned because the timeout period expired" Error message ? You can fix it easily by one of these three methods.
Method 1: Change the server from time.windows.com to time.nist.gov
Method 2: search command prompt in windows searh bar - right click and run as admin - type the following two commands.
sc config w32time start= auto
net start w32time
if you are getting errors in the method 2 go to the method 3
Method 3: run the following five commands
net stop w32time
w32tm /unregister
w32tm /register
sc config w32time start= auto
net start w32time
Now you'll be able to synchronize with the time server.
Restart your computer to apply the changes if the issue persists.
Hope this helps!
