         answer: |
-          Rarely some DCesv5/ECesv5-series VMs may experience a small time difference from UTC. A long term fix is available for this soon. In the meantime here are the workarounds for Windows and Ubuntu Linux VMs:
-
-            ``` Windows
-            sc config vmictimesync start=disabled
-            sc stop vmictimesync
-            ```
-          For Ubuntu Linux images, run the following script:

+          For Ubuntu Linux images, run the following steps:

+          1. Run this command to update the chronyd file to disable using the IC Time Sync service.
+          ``` Ubuntu Linux
+          sed -i '/^refclock PHC \/dev\/ptp_hyperv poll 3 dpoll -2 offset 0/s/^/#/' /etc/chrony/chrony.conf

+          sed -i '/^#pool.*ntp/s/^#//' /etc/chrony/chrony.conf
+          ```
