Windows Time Service not running and did not update with time change
Our clocks went back an hour last night and a few hours ago I realized that the clock in my computer did not update with the time change.
I checked the date & time section of the computer and set time automatically is on, set time zone automatically is on, the time zone is correct and adjust for daylight saving time automatically is set to on as well.
I tried turning the set time automatically off, refreshing and then turning it back on but it still did not fix the time. So I ended up setting the time manually.
I then went to services.msc and checked Windows Time and it is not running and it states the start up type is manual. Everything is greyed out so I can not change the setting it to automatic or anything else.
I did start doing some searching and found information stating "How to fix Windows time service not running on windows 10" and it stated ---- To fix the problem, you need to perform an SFC scan. Once the SFC scan is finished, check if the problem is still there. - the problem was still there
If the issue is still present, your next step would be to run DISM scan. To do that, start Command Prompt as administrator and run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth command. Once the DISM scan is finished, check if the problem still persists. --- the problem continued so I did as the information stated which was "If the issue is still present, repeat the SFC scan and check if that solves the issue"
The service is still greyed out and I cannot change the setting. I never had this problem in the past when our clocks change (going forward in the spring and going back an hour in the fall).
I am running windows 10 home; version 2004; installed on 8/31/2020; os build 19041.572
The computer is a dell with an intel core 95-4460 CPU @ 3.20 GHZ; 8GB installed ram; and it is a 64 bit operating system/ x64-based processor.
I have come across other information to try and resolve this issue, but thought it would be better to check here before doing anything that may or may not help or make things worse. I know that it is easy enough to change the time myself twice a year, but I would really like to know how to fix the issue with the Windows Time Service being greyed out and not running.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I should mention that since I have windows 10 home I do not have the group policy editor on this computer.
