While capturing the network, the windows time was updated with a NTP server. Although the change of windows time, the wireshark reference time could not be updated. So, is it possible to update the wireshark reference time (arrival time) with windows time update after started capturing?

From "(arrival time)" I assume by "reference time"you don't mean the "time reference that's set by Edit > Set/Unset Time Reference.

Every packet captured has an arrival time; are you talking about updating the arrival times of packets that have already been captured, or are you talking about making sure all packets captures after the system time was updated have arrival times that reflect the system time change?

Timestamps are added by the capture:
"Wireshark itself doesn't generate the timestamp so there's nothing Wireshark can do about it."

If using npcap for capture on Windows, there is an open issue related to time being adjusted by NTP.
