Bought my computer around a year ago. But for some reason my computers time has never been right even when I set it to my time zone. Looked into solutions and found that I cant change any settings in the Windows Time Properties. Most settings are grayed out. Been causing many issues playing games on steam as well as some websites.. Any ideas? Thanks for your time!

Hello Ethan and welcome to TF,
How far can you get with this tutorial: Synchronize Clock with an Internet Time Server in Windows 10
My Windows Time service is set to Manual (Trigger start) and isn't running except when it needs to do a time sync.
What happens when you click "Update now" button as shown in the tutorial?
tried update now and says "unable to start the windows time service. Please try again later.
Did you try with server time.windows.com selected from pull-down?
time.nist.gov is not working for me, so I wouldn't use that one right now. time.google.com works.
Look in Event Viewer under the Applications and Services Log\Microsoft\Windows\Time-Service\Operational channel for error messages.
@steve108
Are the option in your service manager are all greyed out like SS in Op ?
This is the symptom of the crashed time service. I think there are 2 other threads like that at the moment here on TF.
Easy to test, from an admin prompt:
if it doesn't start and stop... It's crashed.Code:net start w32time net stop w32time
couldn't find any errors relating to trying to update the time. But just in case which category would it fall under
