Indeed, since Windows allows a process to be starved from running,
depending on the load, a higher priority process may block NTP from
running. Therefore, although raising the priority for NTP doesn't
mean that it cannot be starved, it does decrease the likelihood of
that happening.
Linux, on the other hand, favors fair process scheduling and strives
to not starve any from running at least for a little while.

Windows can run NTP at real-time priority, if you give the NTP user that
right. Normal user processes will not then pre-empt NTP.
