Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

We would be glad to help you with the issue you are facing today. I understand the difficulty with the problem, it would be helpful if you could reply to these questions to assist you further.

• What is the make and model of your computer?
• Since when are you facing this issue?

Time Zone will not change automatically while you travel. If you want to change the Time Zone for your computer, you will have to change manually.

Only the live tiles like Weather, News, and Sports have the ability to change with the location.

• Go to control panel.
• Click on "Clock, Language, and Region
• Under "Date and Time", click on "Change the Time Zone"
• Under "Time Zone" click on "Change time zone
• Under "Time Zone, click the current time zone, and select your actual time zone
  • Click OK and you are done.

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

Thank you.

Hi, Dan. Thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you, and I am here to work with you on this issue.

If you're having problem regarding your time zone, try the following:

-Disabling Set time zone automatically

1. Press Win + I (or click the Start menu and select Settings)

2. Click on Time & Language

3. Click on Date & time

4. Turn on the Set time zone automatically toggle switch.

-Setting time zone via PowerShell

1. Press Win + X and select Windows PowerShell (Admin)

2. Type the following command to confirm the current time zone and press Enter:

Get-TimeZone

3. Type the following command and note the time zone that you want to use and press Enter:

Get-TimeZone -ListAvailable

4. Type the following command to set the new time zone and press Enter:

Set-TimeZone -Name "Eastern Standard Time (US & Canada)"

In the command, make sure to change "Eastern Standard Time (US & Canada)" with the correct time zone that you noted in step No. 4. Also, make sure to type the full name exactly as shown in PowerShell.

5. Type the following command to confirm the time zone was updated successfully and press Enter:

Get-TimeZone

I hope this helps!

Kind regards,

 

Time Zones do not change

Hi Andre,

Thanks for taking the time to help. I appreciate it.

I opened the account on my computer which has Administrator Privileges and ran regedit.

In the first string you suggested, it was already set to NTP.

In the second string, I changed the value to 3, as instructed.

Regrettably, after the restart - the trouble is still present. The Time Zone is still stuck on the time zone of the place I started my trip from.

I opened Settings>Time and confirmed that the toggle is set to Automatically Detect/Change the Time Zone, but it clearly isn't working. Additionally, the place where it displays the Time Zone (which if you click on usually drops down a list where you can
select a new TZ) is grayed out and not longer drops down a list if you click upon it.

Also grayed out is the toggle allowing you to choose to ignore Daylight Savings.

Hmmm. Puzzling.
