Only tangentially related, but for keeping a Windows PC synced, I'm rather
partial to NetTime. It's a tiny tray app, quite flexible, and otherwise
unobtrusive. It's a freeware app, though donations are accepted....

My feeling is that if you do not have competing applications fighting for
control of the clock, and your clock time is visibly correct to a second,
that your problem is not the system time.
Meinberg ntpd by default disables w32time but it may not disable other
applications (you mentioned a few of them) you have installed that are
fighting for the system clock.

I have used Meinberg NTP and also Thinking Man's Dimension 4 as NTP
applications on Windows 7 64 bit OS's on 3 PC's. I use them to sync
the PC time for WSJT-X WSPR (a low power digital amateur radio mode)
which requires an accurate time on the PC's for successful decoding
and transmitting of digital signals.
Both Dimension 4 and Meinberg have occasionally not allowed proper
syncing with the WSPR application attempting to decode up to 4 seconds
late, despite my Trimble Thunderbolt and Lady Heather showing the PC
is synced to GPS time within less than a second, by eye.
I am now trying another NTP app by DL4YHF Wolfgang Buscher. My
questions are, is such an anomaly known and should I disable Windows
Internet Time synchronization when using another NTP app? I see no
mention of disabling this in any of the NTP application's notes... The
WSPR application, WSJT-X has very recently been released in a 64 bit
version, which is what I am using, and I have to wonder if the new
version has some minor bug as I find it hard to believe two well known
and used NTP apps are buggy.
Thanks.
