The Problem:
Windows only syncs your computer clock once per week by default. That might be fine for casual use, but for traders, clock drift can cause issues with timestamp accuracy on your charts, trade logs, and platform synchronization. This is especially bad on VPS servers, which often sync with inaccurate host clocks.
The Solution:
I put together a simple one-click utility that:
- Syncs your clock with NIST atomic time servers (the official U.S. time source) every hour
- Disables the inaccurate VM time provider on virtual machines
- Sets Windows Time service to auto-start on boot
- Run it once and you're done - no need to run it again after reboots

It's a simple batch file - you can even open it in Notepad to see exactly what it does before running it.
Works on Windows 7, 8, 10, 11, and all Windows Server editions.
