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

Restart your computer to apply the changes if the issue persists.
