I ran the microsoft fixit once again.
It did not require a reboot.

This mobile workstation was placed into use on 9/20/15 and has had persistent problems with incorrect time.
asdfasdfasdfasdfafd
Using windows 7 professional change date and time settings each of these settings were used to synchronize time: time.windows.com, time.nist.gov, time-nw.nist.gov, time-a.nist.gov and time-b.nist.gov.
All of these settings failed with progressive time delays using windows 7 professional.
Time synchronization was turned off and again the mobile workstation had progressive delayed time.
Often at approximately 1 minute and 15 to 20 seconds it would reset on its own to a few seconds delay with or without time synchronization.
The CMOS RTC battery was replaced and there was no change in the time delay problem.
A second operating system was used, Ubuntu.
Ubuntu was tested for 12 hours and it displayed time ahead on the time.is web site.
The computer manufacturer replaced the motherboard and the intel chip. The bios date and time were reset.
The first three days after the motherboard replacement the time delay was at its worst with over 5 minute delays.
On the third day there was a bios update.
After the bios update the mobile workstation malfunctioned as it did before the motherboard replacement. With windows 7 professional there was progressive delayed time up to approximately 1 minute and 15 to 20 seconds and then it would somehow reset itself. The mobile workstation was then rebooted to Ubunt to remoe windows 7 professional form the picture. This time Ubuntu was ran for approximately 36 hours. The time was always ahead. The rate of time ahead with Ubuntu seemed to be slower than the rate of time behind with windows 7 professional.
Using administrative command prompt I posted the results of the w32tm /query /status commands. The first one was with time synchronization off. The second one was after multiple configure internet time settings update now clicks. Multiple sfc /scannow were ran that indicated no integrity violations.
At this moment the time delay is 4 minutes and 39.1 seconds behind.
The latest w32tm /query /status displays: Leap Indicator: 3(last minute has 61 seconds).
What does this mean: last minute has 61 seconds?
What is Stratum and how come it changed to unspecified?
What is reference Id and how come it is now unspecified?
When the configure internet and time settings is viewed it displays next synchronization 2/25/2016 and it displays the clock was successfully synchronized with the time-nw.nist.gov on 2/19/2016 at 6:19 AM.
How come the date and time indicates a successful synchronized time on 2/19/2016 6:19 AM and the last few w32tm /query /status indicate the last successful sync time was on 2/18/2016 8:11:35 AM.

I ran the microsoft fixit once again.

leap indicator: 3 (last minute has 61 seconds)
the status is 0 (unspecified)
last successful sync time 2/22/2016 6:58:25 AM
with the unspecified it is still malfunctioning?
Status is 0 unspecified... or Stratum: 0 (unspecified)?

I had missed your post while writing the other posts.
What do I do now?
net stop w32time did not work: the service name is invalid
w32tm /unregister worked: w32time successfully unregistered
w32tm /register worked: w32time successfully registered
net start w32tm worked: The Windows Time service is starting. The Windows Time service was started successfully.
w32tm /query /status displayed unspecified and appears to be not working.
w32tm /resync did not work: Sending resync command to local computer. The computer did not resysc because no time data was available.
I did not reboot again and that may be the problem.
If I repeat all of the steps again when should I reboot and
when should net stop work?
when should w32tm /query /status work are unregister and register net start? only after reboot?
when should resync work?
...I just ran Microsoft fixit 50309.msi...
...Ill try the commands you had earlier now...
The Microsoft Fix it 50309 just ran the commands for you and reset the time service to it's default settings, no need to run the commands again. That same Fix it is available below, showing you what it does:
Restore Windows Time service on local computer to default settings
