You should be able to change the settings as to what server to sync to in the Date and Time control panel and change the frequency with Task Scheduler by going to Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > Time Synchronization. I think you can modify what is already set up, or you could play it safe and [div class="footer" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; display:inline;"]create a new task.

As to why it drifts in the first place - I think that's obvious, your computer sucks!
