Euler pointed me to this when I was having trouble with PC clock / race start time - highly recommend it..

Derek, no need to hack the Registry. If you Google "synchronise windows clock" you will get what in practical reality is an infinite list of advice and options. A couple from the top that may help are Using Time Servers and Internet Atomic Time.
The first of those links suggest editing the registry to add time servers (I think you can change the frequency of syncs as well), the second suggests 3rd party software.firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Wed Dec 30, 2020 10:08 amDerek, no need to hack the Registry.

I use DS Clock. Not only does it sync the time but it plays the Westminister chimes every 15 minutes. I was just saying it's quite bizarre that Microsoft jam-pack Windows 10 with useless features that nobody's likely to want, yet leave crucial services to 3rd party vendors.

When I looked into this it looked like MS had a problem in the 2000s' that meant their world servers were out of sync & if your PC had sync'd with one of the wrong ones it was wrong and stayed wrong - I only noticed when trading greyhound markets and they seemed to go off about 20 seconds before everyone else - at least according to my clock )

Yes, 3rd party software gives more options and without exposing the registry and the first link I gave details two courses of action through Control Panel before it talks about the registry option. That's all i was remarking on. I totally agree with your Microsoft comments and would add to that their arrogance wanting to tell me they know better than me how I want my computer arranged ... their insistence on the use of One Drive being a case in point.Derek27 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 30, 2020 12:02 pmThe first of those links suggest editing the registry to add time servers (I think you can change the frequency of syncs as well), the second suggests 3rd party software.firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Wed Dec 30, 2020 10:08 amDerek, no need to hack the Registry.

The control panel option doesn't allow you to adjust the frequency, once a week is stupid - nobody has a PC clock that accurate! I agree about One Drive, if you uninstall it it mysteriously gets reinstalled at some point. You have to hack the registry or change local policy settings just to disable it. The same applies to Windows Defender. If you don't have other virus software they don't make it easy for you to switch theirs off.firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Wed Dec 30, 2020 3:13 pmYes, 3rd party software gives more options and without exposing the registry and the first link I gave details two courses of action through Control Panel before it talks about the registry option.

I have never monitored when my computer clock is synchronised. Under "Change Settings" I am given a choice of 2 ... time.nist.gov, the one I am currently using and it tells me it last synchronised at 20:29 today and is next due to synchronise at 00:11 tomorrow (I have no idea why there should be such a 'random' time interval). The other option is time.windows.com.Derek27 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 30, 2020 5:02 pmThe control panel option doesn't allow you to adjust the frequency, once a week is stupid - nobody has a PC clock that accurate!

but returning to thread subject did anyone have a problem with the 17:40 at Wolverhampton today? My automation was blank for that race. It should have fired bets but didn't and I happened to notice at the time my BA one click screen was blank for runners/odds.
