Time Zone keeps changing from Eastern to Pacific on my brand new laptop

I bought a brand new laptop two days ago, and even though I set the time zone to Eastern time, it keeps changing back to Pacific. I tried setting it manually, and it goes back on its own. When I set time zone to automatic it sets it to Pacific. I checked
Windows Time in Services and I made sure Windows Time was set to automatic and that it was running. No matter what I do, my Time Zone goes back to Pacific time. In the PowerShell photo below you see as it was originally, and then after changing it back to
Eastern time; it immediately went back to Pacific. Below that photo is my Windows version.

 

Time Zone Changes not saved

I recently moved from TZ GMT -5 to GMT - 8 (Eastern time to Pacific time). Whenever I set Pacific time in Control Panel -> Date & Time -> Change Time Zone, it reverts back to the Eastern time zone on each reboot. In fact, it is GMT - 5, but somewhere in
South America that keeps getting restored. Any thoughts?

 

Time-Zone

My time-zone keeps changing back to Pacific Time, but I am located on the Eastern side of the US. This is my PC and I recently built it.
