Hi Larry,

run regedit and change the update interval

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\W32Time\Config

change UpdateInterval to 3600 (decimal) -> every hour

Betreff: [amsat-bb] Re: PC clock

Hi Larry,

Time synchronization is scheduled in the 'Task Manager' of Win 7.
Open 'Task Manager' and look for the item and edit it. Thanks for
bringing this to my attention as I just upgraded (?) to Win 7. I set
mine to sync at startup as I turn the PC off at night. My tracking
software (Nova) also does it when it is started. Also updates Keps.

73 de N7UB, Al
