About this tag
The SpecialPollInterval tag covers discussions about the Windows Time service (w32time) registry setting that controls how often an NTP client polls a manually specified time server. Threads describe issues where the system clock fails to correct time drift when SpecialPollInterval is configured, particularly on Windows Vista, Server 2008, Windows 7, and Server 2008 R2. Users report that changing the default value (604800 seconds) to shorter intervals like 86400 or 3600 does not trigger automatic synchronization, requiring manual updates. The tag focuses on troubleshooting time sync failures related to this specific registry DWORD under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\w32time\TimeProviders\NtpClient.

Windows Vista Clock gains time with synchronized Internet Time set
The computer clock in my Windows 7 b7100 installation has been gaining about 30 seconds per day. I have tried setting the clock in Win7 to synchronize with time.windows.com and 4 different government servers.
