So, the question is, how do I force this process to always start at the

Manager?
Change the service's "Path to executable" e.g. ntpd.exe -M ...
  Get rid of the -M

Hello. I'm not sure who to address my reply to. Thanks for the link to the configuration info. Here are a couple of quotes from it:

-M
   Raise scheduler precision to its maximum (1 ms) using
   timeBeginPeriod. (Windows only)

-P /priority/
   To the extent permitted by the operating system, run the ntpd at the
   specified priority.


It doesn't appear to me that -M is related to process priority, but to internal scheduler timing. I tinkered around with the -P parameter a little, but couldn't detect any changes.

Sincerely,

Ron
