atomic time

About this tag
On WindowsForum.com, the atomic time tag covers discussions about Windows time synchronization issues, particularly when the system clock drifts significantly from atomic time servers. Users report problems such as Windows 7 losing several seconds every few minutes despite frequent synchronization, while the same hardware keeps accurate time in other operating systems.

The tag is relevant for Windows users seeking to maintain accurate system time via atomic time sources.
