Autosync on startup
What do you think if we add a small checkbox about autosync with time servers when startup? The command is simply:
W32tm /resync /force
so... /force is still valid in Windows 10? Doesn't seem to be documented.
Well... it seems the use of W32tm requires admin rights, so there's no way T-Clock would add that when there's T-Clock's own inbuilt SNTP (also requiring admin rights) However, besides the SNTP needing a "rewrite", there's the issue about needing administrative permissions... As such it's still part of what I would like to have, but nowhere near any estimate when or how it might happen.
To be able to support this.. T-Clock would have to create a Service so it could elevate, but it would also have to "install" components into a secure location, such as %ProgramFiles% so that it doesn't expose a security risk. It might even need to validate its own executable... So that's quite some work.
Hmm, I thought it's just a simple cmd command? It doesn't even need admin privilege.

It does need admin privileges... the same way everything that tries to change the current date/time does.
Not really sure about this since I don't see it requires me admin privilege, but I find out that it can only sync in a small range of time. If the time gap is large, it reports error.
