The clock was months off on my old computer, so Windows wouldn't update the time. This can be fixed by invoking w32tm /resync /force . Will you consider updating the script, @thedom85?

@kristianrl I added this command "w32tm /resync /force /rediscover" at the end
@thedom85 Thank you very much! It was very useful.
Running w32tm /config command after stopping the w32time service would always fail because w32tm command communicates with the service using RPC calls.

If you need to run this every time the computer boots, press the Windows key + R, type
shell:startup. Then you can create a shortcut. Enter the shortcut's Properties, click Advanced, and select Run as administrator.
