This part of the note is included for completeness only. There are no current trends of this scenario occurring on non-Windows Server OS SKUs, and there's no current general guidance on disabling STS in non-Windows Server OS SKUs.

There's a small but distinct possibility that machines in a deployment running non-Windows Server OS SKUs (various non-server editions and releases of Windows 10, version 1511 or later - for example, Windows 10 client SKUs, Windows 10 IoT, Windows 11 client SKUs, and Windows 11 IoT) might also experience STS-related time issues based on unique circumstances in that deployment and incidence of such issues can be mitigated only by disabling the STS feature on the affected machines.

Certain machines (for example, portable devices relying solely on aged rechargeable batteries as a power source and experiencing complete power drain before the next battery recharge) running Windows OS might rely on STS to automatically correct gross time errors. If STS feature is disabled, these machines might require alternate intervention to correct the time.

- Timekeeping on a machine can be influenced by software such as the OS itself, inbox services like the W32time service, admin tools, non-Microsoft applications with sufficient privileges or by the underlying timekeeping firmware or hardware, backup complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) clock, or battery, runtime conditions on the central processing unit (CPU) or memory or even environmental conditions. Various timekeeping and time synchronization features in Windows aim to bring order to this seemingly chaotic timekeeping process and attempt to keep a machine's time within acceptable limits for a given use case.

- Commodity computing equipment typically needs time corrections, which also applies to devices running various Windows OS SKUs. In-market Windows OS SKUs (Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2025, Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows 10 IoT, Windows 11 IoT, inclusive of multiple intermediate releases and various other Windows OS SKUs) each has a default W32Time service configuration to maintain and synchronize time on a generic device.
