Don't see the Internet Time tab?
If your computer is on a domain-based network, the workstations will not have the Internet Time tab. This is because the workstations will automatically synchronise their time with the Domain Controller (Server) each time they start up. You may need to contact your IT specialist to confirm that your Domain Controller is correctly configured to synchronise with Internet Time.
Click Change Settings.
Select the option Synchronize with an internet time server.
In the Server field, select time.windows.com.
Click Update now.
Your computer's time will be synchronised with an online time server.When complete, click OK to close all open windows.
