[time-nuts] NTP apps on Windows question

[David J Taylor]

From: Peter Laws

I've noticed the same issue (running Meinberg's build of NTP) with the
same amateur radio program where the PC is a certain number of seconds
off (4 or 6 or so or whatever but on the order of what the OP
reported).  A restart of NTP "fixes" it.  This happens after a cold
boot and even if I let the system run for an hour, NTP never fixes
things.

You've reminded me that I need to check if I did, in fact, disable the
Windows Time service (whatever it is on W10).  That's much more likely
to be the issue rather than NTP.

Peter,

You might also check that NTP is working correctly.  Have you used the 
"ntpq -pn" command?  If your PC is out by more than 500 ppm (43 seconds a 
day) special steps are required for NTP so that it corrects such an 
inaccurate clock!
