• Problems accessing Time servers on Win 8.1 and Win10 1607

    I have a series of messages from CT:

    Have you noticed any problems accessing MS or NIST Time Servers. I run in to this problem here in Calgary, AB, Canada Friday. when I was trying to Upgrade to 15014.

    I usually have my PC’s and NAS on time-nw.nist.gov but it always gives a TimeOut error NOW.

    The only one that works MOST of the time is time.nist.gov ON W 8.1 & W 10 14393.693 1607 BUT NONE work on W 10 14986 or higher. I have had to change all my Time Sync Sites to keep my Network accessible.

    Flaky ones or don’t work at all:

    time-nw.nist.gov
    time-a.nist.gov (occasionally)
    time-b.nist.gov (varies)
    time.windows.com (has been problematic for years and not recommended even by MS)

    As far as my Upgrade is concerned, ‘Update’ just rolls it’s marbles. NO Progress Bar, nothing more…… I am starting to wonder if this is the Time Sync Problem????

    Anything that you can add would be much appreciated.

    We went through the usual Time Sync solutions, and nothing worked. Sure enough, the Internet Time Settings dialog shows “An error occurred getting the status of the last synchronization. Access is denied.”

    Any suggestions?
