What did you do?

Ran this code on any release post-1.16, on windows:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"
)

func main() {
	t := time.NewTicker(5 * time.Millisecond)
	begin := make(chan bool)
	var count int
	go func() {
		<-begin
		for range t.C {
			count++
		}
	}()
	begin <- true
	time.Sleep(time.Second)
	t.Stop()
	fmt.Println(count)
}

What did you expect to see?

~200ish ticks over the life of the program

What did you see instead?

64 ticks

Additional:

This works correctly on 1.15.15. Probably seems to be introduced in 1.16 It is important to understand the following:

The new code seems to substitute high-resolution timers in place of setting the timer resolution to 1ms at the start of a program. However, my system timer is already set to 1ms and despite that, go sleeps/ticks/etc. are operating at 15.whatever millisecond resolution on my windows system.
