18. How do I check time more frequently in Windows 10?
The default for Windows 10 seems to be to sync the time every hour. If there is a clock skew Windows should adjust to that but the poll interval can be adjusted. Run this in a command prompt as an administrator in Windows 10:
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient /v SpecialPollInterval /t Reg_dword /d 600 /f net stop w32time net start w32time
If you want to log what is going on you can add the debug log like this:
w32tm /debug /enable /file:C:\windows\temp\w32time.log /size:10000000 /entries:0-3000
The debug log will then be C:\windows\temp\w32time.log.
If you just want to resync the time again then run this command:
w32tm /resync
