might also want to use one of the PC clock synchronise servers like Dimension 4 or similar.

Cheers

Never heard of these, you mean instead of time.windows.com in the clock settings?

Yes, that's right. Usually provide one or two orders of magnitude better synchronisation. It (or an equivalent) will override the Windows time server automatically, otherwise you can get a steady drift.

Very interesting, is that a paid service?

For anybody else an alternative to Dimension 4 is Meinberg NTP (also free).

Installing NTP on Windows

I only mention it as I was one of the very few people I have read about who had issues with Dim.4. It would work for me for a few days but then stop time syncing and I could never work out why. The Meinberg has been faultless though.

I do recall you having a problem and wondered whether it might be because you had set your computer to the US timezone?

Good to have the Meinberg alternative though; I did notice no direct mention of Windows 10 support on the Dimension 4 site, but then most standard Windows 7 programs run fine without change or maybe the web page just hasn't been updated.

Cheers

Does Dim 4 have to be visible on the taskbar all the time?

Yes, but it is on the taskbar all the time, if I remove it the program stops.
