Once stabilised, ntpd should not drift significantly in one hour, assuming
you haven't meddled with maxpoll, which, unfortunately, many people do.
It will typically be polling every 20 minutes and an hour drop out won't
even cause it to declare the sever down.

Either you haven't told us the whole story, e.g. it may be a lap top that
goes into a different power management state for that less than an hour,
or you need to find out why you are not reaching a poll interval of
1024 seconds when you are connected.

PS your subject is confusing as the most common question from Windows
users is about running with no real servers, which might also be considered
standalone.
