Description:

The Windows Time service failed to start due to the following error:

The service start failed since one or more services in the same process have an incompatible service SID type setting. A service with restricted service SID type can only coexist in the same process with other services with a restricted SID type. If the service SID type for this service was just configured, the hosting process must be restarted in order to start this service.

Error Message when you try to start the Windows Time Service using services.msc.

System error 1290 has occurred.

The service start failed since one or more services in the same process have an incompatible service SID type setting. A service with restricted service SID type can only coexist in the same process with other services with a restricted SID type. If the service SID type for this service was just configured, the hosting process must be restarted in order to start this service.

Solution (Worked for me):

Just run the below commands on elevated command prompt and that’s it.

w32tm /register

sc config w32time type= own

Please start the Windows Time Service Manually after the command gets completed successfully.
