I have been using the loopback driver on Windows 10.
It had been running OK in older versions up to 4.2.8p9.
Now in 4.2.8p10 it appears that junk characters are appended to the driver
name when it is called. The junk characters are different each time NTP is
restarted.

Dan,
Sorry to hear of the problem. PCs Harstad and Lund here are using the
loopback DLL and are still working correctly:
http://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/harstad_ntp_2.html
http://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/lund-ntp-2.html
Note that I install NTP outside the "Program Files" tree to avoid
permissions issues, and most likely I have /not/ updated the loopback DLL.
The NTP executables are from my own build:
http://www.satsignal.eu/ntp/x86/index.html
and checking...the loopback DLL details are:
18/06/2016 15:51 75,776 loopback-ppsapi-provider.dll
installed in C:\Tools\NTP\bin\ in each case. So that DLL version /does/
work with 4.2.8p10 binaries. Checked on Win-10/64 in each case.
