Cannot enable Windows Time

[Tom Barclay]

I can't seem to automatically update Windows Time. In Services, it is set to
automatic, but when I click on start, or try to update from one of the
servers in Windows Time, I get the following error message:

Could not start Windows Time on Local Computer
Error 1058: The service cannot be started because it is disabled or because
it has no enabled devices associated with it.

It used to work, but it's possible that I inadvertently disabled something
else which the service needs to start. I did check to make sure that the
date was correct before trying to update. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Tom,

1. Start->Run cmd.exe
2. net stop w32time
3. w32tm /unregister [ignore error message]
4. w32tm /unregister
5. w32tm /register
6. net start w32time

Control Panel - Admin Tools - Services.

Look for the Windows Time line, double click and set 'Startup type' to
'Automatic' and click Apply. Then click the Start button.

I have the same problem. Windows Time service is set to automatic, but gives a 1053 error. I tried the above sequence of commands and get:
D:\WINDOWS>net stop w32time
The Windows Time service is not started.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3521.
D:\WINDOWS>w32tm /unregister
The following error occurred: Access is denied. (0x80070005)

D:\WINDOWS>w32tm /unregister
The following error occurred: Access is denied. (0x80070005)

D:\WINDOWS>w32tm /register
The following error occurred: The specified service has been marked for deletion
. (0x80070430)

Any suggestions?

I had same issue and I went into Services control panel and hit refresh which caused Windows Time to disappear (it showed an error in the services list) then I could register it sucessfully.
