A Windows 11 user reports that the computer's clock falls behind by several minutes each day, causing intermittent domain-login failures. Which built-in Windows service should the technician verify is running and properly synchronized to correct this time-drift problem?
The Windows Time service (W32Time) synchronizes the system clock with an authoritative time source using NTP. If the service is stopped or misconfigured, the workstation's clock will drift, leading to Kerberos authentication problems and other issues. The other services listed do not control system-time synchronization.
DHCP Client manages dynamic IP addressing.
Print Spooler manages print jobs.
Windows Update installs patches but does not maintain the system clock.
