Windows Time Synchronizer

This is a simple Python script that synchronizes the system clock on Windows with an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server.

Project Releases

If you prefer to use a pre-built executable file instead of running the Python script, you can download the latest release from the Releases page.

1. Go to the Releases page.

2. Download the latest version of the executable file (windows_time_synchronizer.exe).

3. Double-click the downloaded file to run it.

The executable file provides a convenient way to synchronize the system clock without the need to install Python or any dependencies. You can also create a ntp_servers.txt file in the same directory as the executable to specify the desired NTP servers.

Note: The executable file is built from the same source code as the Python script, so it offers the same functionality.

If you encounter any issues or have any questions, please refer to the Issues page or contact the project maintainer.

Development

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• pip package manager

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/kaseioo/windows_time_synchronizer.git

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd windows_time_synchronizer

3. (Optional) Modify the ntp_servers.txt file to include the desired NTP servers. If no servers are specified, the script will use the default hardcoded NTP servers.

   notepad ntp_servers.txt

   Each line in the file should contain the address of an NTP server, e.g.:

   time.windows.com
   time.nist.gov
   

4. Run the script in an elevated (administrator-level) terminal or command prompt:

   python time_synchronizer.py

   The script will automatically synchronize the system clock with an NTP server.
