My feeling is that if you do not have competing applications fighting for control of the clock, and your clock time is visibly correct to a second, that your problem is not the system time.
Meinberg ntpd by default disables w32time but it may not disable other applications (you mentioned a few of them) you have installed that are fighting for the system clock.
