Poor Time Sync in Windows 11

My Windows 11 PCs are set to sync automatically with time.nist,gov. I use Your world on time to synch my watches. I've noticed a few times the Windows time can be out by over a minute but shows the same correct time as the web link when I do a manual sync. Why isn't Windows 11 keeping the time more accurately synchronised?

    Run w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:“time.windows.com” /update as an administrator to force synchronization with the time server, disable the Windows time service, and then restart.
