As far as I know, QueryPerformanceCounter on Windows is expected to be monotonic (and is documented that way). It's possible that a hypervisor is doing something to invalidate this, but that would be a correctness issue in the hypervisor I believe. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/sysinfo/acquiring-high-resolution-time-stamps …pic.twitter.com/Mgh07XwINs
When real world users are experiencing panics because of an OS and/or hardware bug, saying "well use a platform without bugs or get them to fix it" isn't particularly helpful.

Right, that's why it was implemented on top of that API in the first place. That's just not how it behaves in practice :)
