Windows 8.1 Time

[ahuckphin]

Currently running Windows 8.1 Pro on a laptop and everytime I switch on the computer, the time is out. I believe this is to do with the fact I don't have a functional battery for the laptop.

 

When adjusting the time & date, I found an option for internet time. So my question is there a server to automatically sync my laptop time to Malaysian (GMT+8) time. All of the servers listed do nothing

Time.nist.gov should be a good server. The main issue is Windows only syncs time every week, not every time the computer is powered on.

IDK if it's on WIndows 8.1 but WIndows 10 allows time to be synced manually at the user's discretion.

There's a small button battery inside the laptop that is responsible for keeping time. Replace this, should only cost a few dollars.

Yah, you can manually sync in 8 and 7 as well. I'm not sure if there is a command line argument that can cause it to sync though, which could be put into a .bat file and executed at boot.
