 Timekeeping and time synchronization are complex topics that are subjects of several papers and books. We have attempted to summarize some relevant aspects of this here to help our customers review their own time distribution mechanisms and gain operational insight into their deployment.
 
-- Timekeeping on a machine can be influenced by software such as the OS itself, inbox services like the W32time service, admin tools, third party 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 process of timekeeping and attempt to keep a machine's time within acceptable limits for a given use case.

 - Commodity computing equipment typically needs time corrections, and this applies to devices running various Windows OS SKUs also. 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.
