I had a hard time using NTP, and tried to find out what the issues were.
It appears that NTP works needs symetrical delays on the network. If the up/down delays become assymetrical, this ends up with an error :
example of NTP queries against a stratum 1 server :
no network traffic :
Reference ID: TS-2
Root Delay: 0 ms
Root Dispersion: 1,7242431640625 ms
Round Trip Delay: 35,1391 ms
Local Clock Offset: 2,92545 ms
heavy download:
Reference ID: TS-2
Root Delay: 0 ms
Root Dispersion: 1,89208984375 ms
Round Trip Delay: 108,8157 ms
Local Clock Offset: -32,88685 ms
heavy upload :
Reference ID: TS-2
Root Delay: 0 ms
Root Dispersion: 2,1209716796875 ms
Round Trip Delay: 66,39 ms
Local Clock Offset: 18,5578 ms
So depending on your network traffic during the queries, your local offset estimation can vary a lot , and NTPV4's feedback loop will go crazy.
If you want to start/stop the service, you need to run the monitor as administrator.
Just in case, here is my conf file :
# ref-clock drivers
server 127.127.22.1 minpoll 4 # PPS - serialpps.sys
server 127.127.20.1 minpoll 4 mode 18 prefer # NMEA serial port, 16 = 9600 baud, 2 = $GPGGA
