Error: Computer Time is Behind Server Time

Error: Computer Time is Behind Server Time

Problem

I am trying to log in to Gorilla 5 and I get the error “Your computer time is 20 seconds behind the server time. This may affect notification accuracy. Please adjust the computer time or contact your system administrator.”

Solution

You will need to ensure that your machine OS automatically synchronizes the time. You can do this by going through the following steps:

Method 1:

  1. Click on your Start button and choose the Settings icon.
  2. Click on the Time & Language option.

  3. Scroll down to the Related Settings section and click Additional date, time & regional settings .

  4. The Clock and Region screen in the Control Panel will display. Click Date and Time .

  5. Click the Internet Time tab on the Date and Time dialog box. Then, click Change Settings .

  6. On the Internet Time Settings dialog box, check the Synchronize with an Internet time server box.
  7. Select a Server from the drop-down list.
  8. Click Update now .
  9. If you get an error, keep trying to sync. (You may have to select a different server, sync, and then select the original server you wanted and try syncing again.)
  10. A message will display on the Internet Time Settings dialog box when the clock is successfully synced.

  Note:

  • If your PC’s time or date is off by too much, you may get an error when trying to sync. If that is the case, you can go back to the Date and Time dialog box, click the Date and Time tab and set the time and date close to the current time and date. Then, click Change settings on the Internet Time tab and try syncing the clock again on the Internet Time Settings dialog box.

Method 2:

  1. Press the Windows key + r and type services.msc and press enter.
  2. Right click on Windows Time and select properties to check the status of the services.
  3. Restart the Windows Time service.
  4. Click on OK .
  5. Restart the computer.
